Before patch 4/11 that was true, but with that patch the multiplier MUST match the multiplier used below when calculating with the decimals for the IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO value. Again, the connection with that name makes me think that NANO is just so much better that GIGA. Still fine with raw numbers of course. So, the comment is actively misleading. How about the following? /* * We need to multiply by something large to avoid loss of * precision, and NANO fits that while at the same time * being compatible with the conversion to * IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO for cases where that maintains even * more precision. */ > + */ > + tmp = (s64)*val * GIGA; > tmp = div_s64(tmp, rescale->denominator); > tmp *= rescale->numerator; > > - tmp = div_s64_rem(tmp, 1000000000LL, &rem); > + tmp = div_s64_rem(tmp, GIGA, &rem); > *val = tmp; > > if (!rem) > @@ -71,7 +76,7 @@ int rescale_process_scale(struct rescale *rescale, int scale_type, > > *val2 = rem / (int)tmp; > if (rem2) > - *val2 += div_s64((s64)rem2 * 1000000000LL, tmp); > + *val2 += div_s64((s64)rem2 * GIGA, tmp); NANO again, because IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO. > > return IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO; > case IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO: > @@ -332,8 +337,8 @@ static int rescale_current_sense_amplifier_props(struct device *dev, > * gain_div / (gain_mult * sense), while trying to keep the > * numerator/denominator from overflowing. > */ > - factor = gcd(sense, 1000000); > - rescale->numerator = 1000000 / factor; > + factor = gcd(sense, MEGA); > + rescale->numerator = MEGA / factor; Here, we actually have a connection with prefix of a unit of a physical quantity. microohms.
