Hi all,

I also agree that Dimitri’s original patch appears correct per the data sheet.

I think of the cold junction register as a 16 bit 2s complement signed integer, 
despite the limited range. I like sign extending it from bit 15 rather than from 12.

I applied Dimitri’s patch and stuck a dev board in my icebox.

Before patch:
    # cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_raw 
    65222
    # cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_ambient_raw
    65256

After patch:
    # cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_raw
    -260
    # cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_ambient_raw
    -212

Looks good to me! Thanks for the patch Dimitri, and thanks to all for the review!

Andrew
