Fixes IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL for case when the result is negative and exponent is 0. example: if the result is -0.75, tmp0 will be 0 and tmp1 = 75 This causes the output to lose sign because of %d in snprintf which works for tmp0 <= -1. Signed-off-by: Anand Ashok Dumbre <anand.ashok.dumbre@xxxxxxxxxx> --- changes since v1: Changed -%d to -0 to make the fix clearer. Removed the email footer.
