I took a closer look and looks like the counter actually should be
reset. Still I don't think that it's a good practice to make changes
underneath of RPM, it may strike back.

What's the problem with comparing of unsigned with signed?

Besides, cif_conf.audio_ch > I2S_RX_FIFO_DEPTH can't be ever true, isn't
it? I2S_RX_FIFO_DEPTH=64, channels_max=16

Lastly, nothing stops you to make max_th unsigned.
