Subject: [87/87] hwmon: (sht15) Fix integer overflow in humidity calculation

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@...oirfairelinux.com>

commit ccd32e735de7a941906e093f8dca924bb05c5794 upstream.

An integer overflow occurs in the calculation of RHlinear when the
relative humidity is greater than around 30%. The consequence is a subtle
(but noticeable) error in the resulting humidity measurement.
