Subject: [34-longterm 208/247] hwmon: (sht15) Fix integer overflow in humidity calculation

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

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.
