Well, I was doing this as a favour to Richard between other work so put
this together quickly, but you're right this is going to be a pain to
backport/revert if issues so absolutely - will do.

Since this is a hotfix I'm going to risk annoying people and shoot out
a v2 on same day as v1. Sorry in advance.

Yeah I think you're right, it's odd, because it seems that the shift value
and the comments implies that this is a short, but perhaps it's more so
that values are shifted as to obtain 16 bits of precision.

The use of clamp_t() is to avoid egregious macro expansion in
clamp(). After the series improving min/max the clamp() is probably
equivalent. But in 5.15 it will likely not be. So this is, in line with the
purpose of this change, I believe necesasry.
