Within mba_setup() the programmed bandwidth delay value starts at the maximum (100, or rather ALLOCATION_MAX) and progresses towards ALLOCATION_MIN by decrementing with ALLOCATION_STEP. The programmed bandwidth delay should never be negative, so representing it with an unsigned int is most appropriate. This may introduce confusion because of the "allocation > ALLOCATION_MAX" check used to check wraparound of the subtraction. Modify the mba_setup() flow to start at the minimum, ALLOCATION_MIN, and incrementally, with ALLOCATION_STEP steps, adjust the bandwidth delay value. This avoids wraparound while making the purpose of "allocation > ALLOCATION_MAX" clear and eliminates the need for the "allocation < ALLOCATION_MIN" check.
