I'm not sure that true. It if were signed we'd be detecting that the
input from userspace was negative. That is clearly garbage for a frequency
control.. I'll hazard a guess that it was intended to catch that
as well as the divide by 0 case.

This would be clearer if we first checked that val and val2 are both not
negative, then did the zero test on t.

If people agree, anyone want to spin a patch to do that?

Thanks,

Jonathan
