5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cong Nguyen <redacted>

commit 06fab97602fe400bea843176f485bbac07a668e2 upstream.

The MPU-3050 gyroscope output registers hold 16-bit two's complement
values; the angular velocity channels are declared with .sign = 's'.
When mpu3050_read_raw() handles IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW it reads the register
via a big-endian regmap_bulk_read() and assigns it with:

	*val = be16_to_cpu(raw_val);

be16_to_cpu() yields an unsigned 16-bit quantity, so negative rates
(bit 15 set) are reported to userspace as large positive integers
(e.g. -1 becomes 65535) instead of the correct negative value.

Cast to s16 before the assignment, matching the temperature channel a
few lines above which already handles the sign correctly.
