I think this variable is superfluous (and causes more register pressure
in the compiler), since ...

... this being non-zero in the second if().

How come this is outside the following if()? Also sizeof(...) - 1 please
instead of the literal 7.

I think this should be UINT64_C(1), as ULL is not a C89 compatible
suffix, but by requiring uint64_t I think we can imply that along with
that C99 type the platform also surfaces respective macros.
