Subject: [PATCH] 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.

Hi Dimitri,

Interesting patch this one.
I think this does apply, although, the cold junction register has for sign bits
so I think we could also have a mask to clear those out.
Some code suggestions inline.

Regards,
Marcelo

Hi Marcelo,

the temperature bits are in two’s complement format for hot and cold
junction. Equations to calculate the temperature are also the same in
the datasheet. There should be no difference when handling them. I don't
think we need to do anything more with the value except sign_extend it to
the appropriate data type. If the sign bits aren't right, there is a bug
in the chip, until then futher processing of it is unneeded. I could add
a comment here if it helps.

This won't work. Assuming int is 32-bit ret = 0xfffe and *val = -2 after
sign_extends32, this would result in *val = -61442 which is wrong.

Agreed - by my reading the original patch is correct. Maybe it would act
as cleaner 'documentation' to have the sign_extend32() for the cold junction be
from bit 12 rather than 15, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

Andrew, would be great if you can review this fix in case we are all missing
something!

Ah yes, I missed the fact that other bits need to be set to make the value
smaller (closer to zero) when the MSB of two's complement number is set.

Yes, the original patch should be correct.
Yeah, no practical difference using bit 12 or 15 to sign extend the number so
probably not worth changing that.

I also agree that Dimitri’s original patch appears correct per the data sheet.

I think of the cold junction register as a 16 bit 2s complement signed integer,
despite the limited range. I like sign extending it from bit 15 rather than from 12.

I applied Dimitri’s patch and stuck a dev board in my icebox.

Before patch:
# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_raw
65222
# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_ambient_raw
65256

After patch:
# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_raw
-260
# cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_ambient_raw
-212

Looks good to me! Thanks for the patch Dimitri, and thanks to all for the review!

Andrew

That definitely deserves a Tested-by tag so I added one. Hope you don't mind!

Applied to the fixes-togreg branch of iio.git and marked for stable.

Thanks,
