Add of_property_read_s32() to read the signed 32bit number from dt property value. This supports to pass the -ve numbers from dt. Use 2's complement method for represnting negative number and passed as u32 from dts. When reading back the value, again converted to 2's complement if msb shows as 1. Signed-off-by: Laxman Dewangan <ldewangan@xxxxxxxxxx> CC: david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: swarren@xxxxxxxxxx --- We required to pass the -ve value from DT and after looking the discussion http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-arm-msm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg05108.html I created this patch.
