Subject: [PATCH 4/9] drivers/iio: Sign extend without triggering implementation-defined behavior

>From the C standard: "The result of E1 >> E2 is E1 right-shifted E2 bit
positions. If E1 has an unsigned type or if E1 has a signed type and a
nonnegative value, the value of the result is the integral part of the
quotient of E1 / 2E2 . If E1 has a signed type and a negative value, the
resulting value is implementation-defined."

Hence use sign_extend_24_to_32() instead of "<< 8 >> 8".
