it is 7.8125 milli degrees_C so 78125 x 10^-4 milli degrees_C
which is 78125 x 10^-4 x 10^3 micro degrees_C
so it becomes 78125 x 10^-1 micro degrees_C = 78125 10_microdegrees_C.
Did it in detail so I remember it in the future. I guess you thought
it as 0.78125 millidegrees_C?

yes, reading it will return the value in milli degrees_C. but to write
it should be in the register format according to the datasheet.

Okay, if you feel that would be right then I will do it.

the maximum value which this register takes is 0xffff, so it should
get clamped automatically when casting to s16?
I might be wrong here.
