Hi Arend,
Thanks for your comments - I'll prepare a v2 patch. Some

The idea was to clamp out-of-bounds rssi_low/rssi_high (s32) values to
S8_MIN/S8_MAX rather than casting an s32 to s8 and hoping for the best.
But since max_t(s8, x, S8_MIN) will always equal (s8)x, I might as well
just do:
.rssi_levels = {
rssi_low,
min_t(s8, rssi_high, S8_MAX - 1),
S8_MAX,
},
I am inclined to keep it as it was, i.e.:
.rssi_levels = {
max_t(s32, rssi_low, S8_MIN),
min_t(s32, rssi_high, S8_MAX - 1),
S8_MAX,
},
What do you think?

I think I see what you mean - you're concerned about not getting the
"high" event because an RSSI greater than rssi_high will not be less
than another level? If the behaviour of the firmware is as you describe
then I will add an additional level like you suggested to cover this case.

Is it not correct already? The 's' in struct is in the same column as
the 'c' in const. I think it just looks wrong because of the '+' in the
first column of the diff.
