Is this a hypothetical problem or a real problem?

This looks wrong to me. For example, what if f_max = 250KHz and f_min = 50 KHz.

Then we should try with 250KHz, then 200KHz and then 100KHz. This
isn't what the above code does, I think.

Instead it will try with 200KHz and then 100KHz, thus skip 250KHz.

Maybe we should figure out what index of freqs[] to start the loop for
(before actually starting the loop), depending on the value of f_max -
rather than always start at 0.
