The minimum temperature value that is passed to the driver is unlimited
and value that is close to INT_MIN results in integer overflow of
temperature calculations made by the driver. Limit the value in order
to prevent the overflow. For now the overflow condition is harmless,
but thermal framework won't work properly once we will support the
set_trips() callback because it will pass INT_MIN value to the driver.
AFAICS that should only happen for lm99 because all other values
are bound in the temp_to_xxx functions. Where else do you see an
overflow (or underflow) ?
You're correct that the overflow affects only lm99. But why we should
ignore it?
That isn't the point. The point is that you claimed there would be a
generic underflow, which is not the case. That means we'll only need
to apply the fix to the lm99 specific code (which unconditionally
subtracts an offset from the provided value, causing the underflow).

Anyway, thanks for alerting me to the issue. As it turns out, there are
other underflow issues in the driver. With improved module test scripts,
I get:

Testing lm90 ...
temp1_crit_hyst: Suspected underflow: [min=54000, read 85000, written -9223372036854775808]
Testing lm99 ...
temp1_crit_hyst: Suspected underflow: [min=96000, read 127000, written -9223372036854775808]
temp2_crit: Suspected underflow: [min=-112000, read 143000, written -9223372036854775808]
temp2_min: Suspected underflow: [min=-112000, read 143875, written -9223372036854775808]
temp2_max: Suspected underflow: [min=-112000, read 143875, written -9223372036854775808]

So we'll need fixes for lm99 temp2_{min/max/crit} and for temp1_crit_hyst
(the latter affects all chips supported by the driver).
I'll prepare v3 with the updated commit message and fixed
temp1_crit_hyst, thank you.
