This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
iio: cros_ec: Fix the maths for gyro scale calculation
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: iio: cros_ec: Fix the maths for gyro scale calculation
Calculation did not use IIO_DEGREE_TO_RAD and implemented a variant to
avoid precision loss as we aim a nano value. The offset added to avoid
rounding error, though, doesn't give us a close result to the expected
value. E.g.
For 1000dps, the result should be:
(1000 * pi ) / 180 >> 15 ~= 0.000532632218
But with current calculation we get
$ cat scale
0.000547890
Fix the calculation by just doing the maths involved for a nano value
val * pi * 10e12 / (180 * 2^15)
so we get a closer result.
$ cat scale
0.000532632
