Please take the division operation out of this clamp() call, somewhere
above. Currently it 'blurs' these stuff, while it's important convertion
to khz. You can call it e.g.:

limit_freq_khz = limit_notify->range_max_freq / HZ_PER_KHZ;

then use in clamp(limit_freq_khz, ...)

It should be a compilation error...

due to usage here, wasn't it?
