[PATCH] hwmon: (w83627ehf) Clamp voltage limits before scaling

From: Zhu Jun

Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 04:39:53 EST


From: zhujun <zhujun2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

in_to_reg() narrows the sysfs value to u32 and multiplies it by 100
before clamping. A large positive voltage limit can consequently be
programmed as zero instead of the maximum; 4294967296 mV reproduces this
on a 64-bit system.

Preserve the input width and clamp to the representable voltage range
before multiplication.

Developed with assistance from OpenAI Codex.

Validation: x86-64 and i386 driver objects built with W=1.
Source-extracted boundary tests passed on 32-bit and 64-bit;
the corresponding test fails on the base revision. I/O is mocked.
No physical sensor hardware or booted-kernel test was available.
OpenAI Codex assisted analysis, code, tests and changelog drafting.
The human submitter must review and add their Signed-off-by.
