That isn't the point. The point is that you claimed there would be a
generic underflow, which is not the case. That means we'll only need
to apply the fix to the lm99 specific code (which unconditionally
subtracts an offset from the provided value, causing the underflow).

Anyway, thanks for alerting me to the issue. As it turns out, there are
other underflow issues in the driver. With improved module test scripts,
I get:

Testing lm90 ...
temp1_crit_hyst: Suspected underflow: [min=54000, read 85000, written -9223372036854775808]
Testing lm99 ...
temp1_crit_hyst: Suspected underflow: [min=96000, read 127000, written -9223372036854775808]
temp2_crit: Suspected underflow: [min=-112000, read 143000, written -9223372036854775808]
temp2_min: Suspected underflow: [min=-112000, read 143875, written -9223372036854775808]
temp2_max: Suspected underflow: [min=-112000, read 143875, written -9223372036854775808]

So we'll need fixes for lm99 temp2_{min/max/crit} and for temp1_crit_hyst
(the latter affects all chips supported by the driver).

Thanks,
Guenter
