This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

iio: temperature: mcp9600: Fix temperature reading for negative

to my char-misc git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git in the char-misc-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From 827dca3129708a8465bde90c86c2e3c38e62dd4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dimitri Fedrau dima.fedrau@gmail.com Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:59:10 +0200 Subject: iio: temperature: mcp9600: Fix temperature reading for negative values

Temperature is stored as 16bit value in two's complement format. Current implementation ignores the sign bit. Make it aware of the sign bit by using sign_extend32.
