Coming back to this, I think that using the shunt resistor value
(which is in micro-ohms), and multiplying with multiples of 1000, the
chances of overflow grow quite a lot.
I could be wrong, but that is how it looks when I try to do some math
with the shunt resistor in place.

Looking at the clamping code, it looks like the initial version is
quite simple & straightforward.
I mean when doing the math and getting values out of range, clamping
afterwards to 0xffffff for power values is quite handy.
And clamping everything else to 0xfff for voltage also looks pretty simple.
We can do some clamping before, but it looks like it's extra math that
is already done in the conversion code anyway.

Hopefully, I'm not missing something here :)
