Thinking about it, this can only really happen if the user provides
excessive values for limit attributes. Those are currently clamped
later, after the conversion. I think it would be better to modify
the code to apply a clamp _before_ the conversion as well instead
of trying to solve the overflow problem with unsigned long long.

Either case, can you send me a register dump for this chip ?
I'd like to write a module test script to actually check if there
are any over/underflows or other problems.

Thanks,
Guenter
