Subject: [PATCH 4.4 068/101] hwmon: (amc6821) sign extension temperature

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

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

From: Jared Bents <jared.bents@...kwellcollins.com>

commit 4538bfbf2d9f1fc48c07ac0cc0ee58716fe7fe96 upstream.

Converts the unsigned temperature values from the i2c read
to be sign extended as defined in the datasheet so that
negative temperatures are properly read.

Fixes: 28e6274d8fa67 ("hwmon: (amc6821) Avoid forward declaration")
