Nope, this term is not clearly defined in the datasheet. but this kind of HW application is
allowed.

Thanks, I'll add more comments to clearly describe what the 'JOINT' code did.

In this funciton, three properties needs to be paresed from DT. Each one need to clamp the value.
There're two ways to write the code.

[Option 1]
ret = fwnode_property_read_u32(...)
if (ret)
    val = MIM_uA;

val = mt6370_clamp(val, MIN, MAX);

[Option 2]
val = MIN_uA;
if (!ret)
    val = mt6370_clamp(val, MIN, MAX);

But it seems the first one is more preferable by you, right?
