Actually thinking about this, does the current implementation work 
correctly for negative temperatures?

I think there are two options to fix it. Either cast to s16 or use the 
sign_extend32() function.

Have a look at how the tmp006 driver handles this. It is a good example, 
including the error checking. In general you should check if your I2C 
read failed and return an error in that case rather than a bogus value 
for the measurement. Same for when reading the calibration offset.

Another thing. IIO reports temperature values in milli degrees Celsius. 
I believe in the current implementation the scale is so that it will 
report in degrees Celsius instead.
