For a complete description of the calling conversion, see the avr-gcc AVI in the GCC Wiki:

The avr-libc documentation section "11.14 What registers are used by the C compiler?" is incomplete in that it does not describe the case where a function returns a large (>64 bit) data item.  As far as I can tell, in this (perhaps unusual) case r25:24 contains a pointer to a buffer in which to return the data and all parameters (if any) are shifted by two registers (i.e. a first uint16_t parameter is in r23:22, etc.).  Large pointer support may change the register use in this case.

This observation applies to the documentation accompanying avr-libc v1.6.7 and v1.8.0.
