Sashiko is concerned that reading a PWM frequency multiplier outside the supported range of [1, 31] might result in bad PWM values written to the chip. Technically, the chip should never return a value with the upper 3 bits set, so this should never happen. However, it is unknown if there are LM63 variants where the upper bits of the register can be written. Clamp the PWM frequency multiplier value to [1, 31] when reading it from the chip to avoid the problem.
