The DS442x DAC uses sign-magnitude encoding, so -128 cannot be represented.
Previously, passing -128 resulted in a truncated value that programmed 0mA.

Fix this by validating the input against the 7-bit magnitude limit.
Additionally, refactor the raw access logic to use symmetrical bitwise
operations, replacing the union structure.
Fixes: d632a2bd8ffc ("iio: dac: ds4422/ds4424 dac driver")
Usually fixes go first in the series...

Redundant blank line.

Hmm... Maybe 0 should be excluded as invalid?
