The check here means we don't support speed > MAX_HS_MODE_SPEED. This is
different then slightly slower bus speed due to rounding error.

Yes, correct.

Agreed, they should be removed.

Yes.

If step_cnt > max_step_cnt, then sample_cnt * max_step_cnt < min_div.
This means (sample_cnt, max_step_cnt) is not a valid.
