[PATCH v2] HID: wacom: validate battery range before scaling

From: Aldo Ariel Panzardo

Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 00:29:06 EST


Battery events divide by the difference between the logical maximum
and minimum without validating the range. A malformed HID descriptor
with equal limits can therefore trigger a divide-by-zero exception.

Move percentage conversion to a helper that widens the arithmetic,
rejects non-positive ranges, and accounts for a nonzero logical
minimum. Clamp the result to [0, 100] instead of rejecting
out-of-range values, so that real hardware whose ADC occasionally
reports slightly beyond its declared limits still registers its
battery and updates capacity normally.

Changes in v2:
- Clamp the computed percentage to [0, 100] instead of returning
false, so that slightly out-of-range ADC values do not prevent
battery registration (WACOM_QUIRK_BATTERY) or silently drop
updates. Reported by Sashiko AI review.
