According to the driver code total_ch is a u32 variable while vm_num
and ch_num are both limited to a value of 31:

#define VM_NUM_MSK GENMASK(20, 16)
#define VM_NUM_SFT 16
#define CH_NUM_MSK GENMASK(31, 24)
#define CH_NUM_SFT 24

In addition the PVT Controller Series 3+ Specification mentions that
the actual maximum values are even smaller – 8 for vm_num and 16 for
ch_num.
Therefore we are very far from a scenario of an overflow.
Do you still think overflow protection in necessary?
