[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 29/30] hwmon: (scpi-hwmon) shows the negative temperature properly

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-06-15 15:52:07
Also in: linux-hwmon, lkml
Subsystem: hardware monitoring, the rest · Maintainers: Guenter Roeck, Linus Torvalds

From: Riwen Lu <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 78d13552346289bad4a9bf8eabb5eec5e5a321a5 ]

The scpi hwmon shows the sub-zero temperature in an unsigned integer,
which would confuse the users when the machine works in low temperature
environment. This shows the sub-zero temperature in an signed value and
users can get it properly from sensors.
