Subject: [PATCH 4.9 190/271] hwmon: (lm75) Fix write operations for negative temperatures

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

[ Upstream commit 7d82fcc9d9e81241778aaa22fda7be753e237d86 ]

Writes into limit registers fail if the temperature written is negative.
The regmap write operation checks the value range, regmap_write accepts
an unsigned int as parameter, and the temperature value passed to
regmap_write is kept in a variable declared as long. Negative values
are converted large unsigned integers, which fails the range check.
Fix by type casting the temperature to u16 when calling regmap_write().
