The fix is correct but the description above is wrong.
When run max_avail is always larger than min so the result is correct.
But the compiler does some constant propagation (for something that
can't happen) and wants to calculate the constant 'clamp(max, min, 0)'
Both max and min are known values so the build assert trips.
I posted the same patch (with a different message) last week.
