Ok, I'll fix these.

No particular reason; I possibly got confused by the division API. I'll
use uint32_t instead.

Will do.

Ok, I'll remove it.

Good question. I haven't measured it, and also don't have the code
running on the EC.

Ok

Will do!

Ok, I'll rework the probe function to avoid these issues.
