The gain values are currently clamped to the range [0.0, 3.996] used by the hardware. A zero value makes little sense, as it would completely remove the contribution of the corresponding color channel from the AWB accumulators, but worse, would lead to divisions by zero when calculating the raw means in subsequent iterations. Prevent this by setting the minimum gain value to 1/256. While at it, clamp the gain values before filtering them, to improve the stability of the control loop.
