This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled hwmon: (mr75203) fix voltage equation for negative source input to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: hwmon-mr75203-fix-voltage-equation-for-negative-sour.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 46ac0df351bbc2ccb7bea4db6929f73fbef2c86b Author: Eliav Farber <farbere@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Sep 8 15:24:32 2022 +0000 hwmon: (mr75203) fix voltage equation for negative source input [ Upstream commit 227a3a2fc31d8e4bb9c88d4804e19530af245b1b ] According to Moortec Embedded Voltage Monitor (MEVM) series 3 data sheet, the minimum input signal is -100mv and maximum input signal is +1000mv. The equation used to convert the digital word to voltage uses mixed types (*val signed and n unsigned), and on 64 bit machines also has different size, since sizeof(u32) = 4 and sizeof(long) = 8. So when measuring a negative input, n will be small enough, such that PVT_N_CONST * n < PVT_R_CONST, and the result of (PVT_N_CONST * n - PVT_R_CONST) will overflow to a very big positive 32 bit number. Then when storing the result in *val it will be the same value just in 64 bit (instead of it representing a negative number which will what happen when sizeof(long) = 4). When -1023 <= (PVT_N_CONST * n - PVT_R_CONST) <= -1 dividing the number by 1024 should result of in 0, but because ">> 10" is used, and the sign bit is used to fill the vacated bit positions, it results in -1 (0xf...fffff) which is wrong. This change fixes the sign problem and supports negative values by casting n to long and replacing the shift right with div operation.
