[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 15/15] hwmon: (scpi-hwmon) shows the negative temperature properly

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Riwen Lu <luriwen@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 78d13552346289bad4a9bf8eabb5eec5e5a321a5 ]

The scpi hwmon shows the sub-zero temperature in an unsigned integer,
which would confuse the users when the machine works in low temperature
environment. This shows the sub-zero temperature in an signed value and
users can get it properly from sensors.
