The last version has a better commit message. We're actually moving that
out of the if in the next patch.
I'm not sure we really need a comment for this though:
The existing code does:
if (rate < min || rate > max)
if (rate < min)
rate = min;
else
rate = max;
So if the rate is below min, it's set to min, if it's between min and
max, it's unaffected, and if it's above max, it's set to max.
With this patch, the code does:
if (rate < min || rate > max)
rate = clamp(rate, min, max)
So if the rate is below min, it's set to min, if it's between min and
max, it's unaffected, and if it's above max, it's set to max. It's
equivalent.
After the next patch, the code will do:
rate = clamp(rate, min, max)
So if the rate is below min, it's set to min, if it's between min and
max, it's unaffected, and if it's above max, it's set to max. They are
all equivalent.
