[PATCH v4 01/13] iio: dac: ds4424: reject -128 RAW value

From: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@pengutronix.de>
Date: 2026-02-03 09:34:37
Also in: linux-iio, lkml, stable
Subsystem: iio subsystem and drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Cameron, Linus Torvalds

The DS442x DAC uses sign-magnitude encoding, so -128 cannot be represented
in hardware (7-bit magnitude).

Previously, passing -128 resulted in a truncated value that programmed
0mA (magnitude 0) instead of the expected maximum negative current,
effectively failing silently.

Reject -128 to avoid producing the wrong current.

Fixes: d632a2bd8ffc ("iio: dac: ds4422/ds4424 dac driver")
Cc: <redacted>
Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel <o.rempel@pengutronix.de>

changes v4:
- Restore v1 implementation: Keep this patch as a minimal fix suitable
  for stable backports
- Move the refactoring (bitwise operations and GENMASK usage) to a
  separate follow-up patch.
changes v3:
- (Merged into refactoring patch in v3, now split again)
