Subject: [PATCH 3.2 055/131] hwmon: (lm92) Prevent overflow problem when
 writing large limits

3.2.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@...ics.com>

commit 5b963089161b8fb244889c972edf553b9d737545 upstream.

On platforms with sizeof(int) < sizeof(long), writing a temperature
limit larger than MAXINT will result in unpredictable limit values
written to the chip. Avoid auto-conversion from long to int to fix
the problem.

The hysteresis temperature range depends on the value of
data->temp[attr->index], since val is subtracted from it.
Use a wider clamp, [-120000, 220000] should do to cover the
possible range. Also add missing TEMP_TO_REG() on writes into
cached hysteresis value.

Also uses clamp_val to simplify the code a bit.
