From: Eliav Farber <farbere@xxxxxxxxxx> [ 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.
