It was in practice a problem when i turned the min/max values into
variables, I set them unsigned. That caused that code to crap out:

        state->pwm += (s32)sum;
        if (state->pwm < backside_params.output_min)
                state->pwm = backside_params.output_min;
        if (state->pwm > backside_params.output_max)
                state->pwm = backside_params.output_max;

When "sum" was negative enough to cause state->pwm to drop below 0

Turning backside_params.* to signed fixed this issue (and possibly
others as the other factors are also used as signed fixed values into
the previous calculations).
