Subject: iio: ak8975: Fix calculation formula for convert micro tesla to gauss unit
From: Beomho Seo <beomho.seo@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit bef44abccb2677e8d16e50b75316d4fd1061be81 upstream.
This effects the reported scale of the raw values, and thus userspace
applications that use this value.
One micro tesla equal 0.01 gauss. So I have fixed calculation formula And add RAW_TO_GAUSS macro.
ASA is in the range of 0 to 255. If multiply 0.003, calculation result(in_magn_[*]_scale) is
always 0. So multiply 3000 and return and IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_MICRO.
As a result, read_raw call back function return accurate scale value.
