For v4 I modified the commit message to (hopefully) be more
understandable:

"
According to Moortec Embedded Voltage Monitor (MEVM) series 3 data
sheet, the minimum input signal is -100mv and maximum input signal
is +1000mv.

On 64 bit machines sizeof(u32) = 4 and sizeof(long) = 8.
So when measuring a negative input and n is small enough, such that
PVT_N_CONST * n < PVT_R_CONST, it results in n overflowing to a very
large number which is not negative (because 4 MSB bytes of val are 0).

This change fixes the sign problem and supports negative values by
casting n to long and replacing shift right with div operation.

Removed.
