In current version of the driver there is error in temperature
calculation.

So lets fix it using proper linear function.

Per my calculation, existing and your equation is same as both are doing linear interpolation.

Only think I have seen is that I have used 1000 for two consecutive temp difference and you used (t2 - t1), so your is better in this case but still the equation is same.

The equation from you is

    t1 + (hi -val) * factor.

and existing one is
     t2 - (val -lo) * factor


factor is abs((t2-t1)/(hi-lo))

If my analysis is not correct then can you please provide the example with calculation for better understansing?

Hi

For example if we try to calculate temp for val = 8, i = 1 and table:

<0 9
 2 7>

    adc_hi = gti->lookup_table[2 * i - 1];
    adc_lo = gti->lookup_table[2 * i + 1];
    temp = gti->lookup_table[2 * i];
    temp -= ((val - adc_lo) * 1000) / (adc_hi - adc_lo);

Your method gives temp =  -498




The temp should be in the milli-centigrade in the table so it should be
<0 9
  2000 7>;

and if you relplace 1000 with the t2 -t1 where

t1  = gti->lookup_table[2*i -2]
t2 = gti->lookup_table[2 *i]

then it will work perfectly.

So your change for replacing 1000 is correct as what I said but need not to change whole equation altogether.
