Guess I'll apply it, even though it is quite pointless. But arguing against
such changes seems like shouting into the wind, so whatever.

There are several other similar "unchecked" loops, including loops for
fannr and tempnr. The driver would misbehave badly if any of those would
ever be outside the valid range, both when accessing the hardware and
writing into various arrays.
