These are chip->foo values and they ought to be trustworthy.

Of course, in real life, they can be set to INT_MAX in
in_illuminance_input_target_store() and tsl2583_write_raw so they can
overflow...  Anyway, if we were going to add a check it would be at
the point where we get the number from the user and before we save it
to chip->
