Thanks! The issue you observed is correct. It also applies to
I2C_TIMEOUT. Would you mind fixing it there as well?

I usually like comments explaining the situiation. However, here I think
it is pretty clear that the code does just sanity checks. So, I think we
can drop it.

Minor nit: I'd think this is a little more readable
if (arg > INT_MAX)
return -EINVAL
But I have no strong opinion here.
