    hwmon: (mr75203) fix voltage equation for negative source input · 227a3a2f

    According to Moortec Embedded Voltage Monitor (MEVM) series 3 data
    sheet, the minimum input signal is -100mv and maximum input signal
    is +1000mv.
    
    The equation used to convert the digital word to voltage uses mixed
    types (*val signed and n unsigned), and on 64 bit machines also has
    different size, since sizeof(u32) = 4 and sizeof(long) = 8.
    
    So when measuring a negative input, n will be small enough, such that
    PVT_N_CONST * n < PVT_R_CONST, and the result of
    (PVT_N_CONST * n - PVT_R_CONST) will overflow to a very big positive
    32 bit number. Then when storing the result in *val it will be the same
    value just in 64 bit (instead of it representing a negative number which
    will what happen when sizeof(long) = 4).
    
    When -1023 <= (PVT_N_CONST * n - PVT_R_CONST) <= -1
    dividing the number by 1024 should result of in 0, but because ">> 10"
    is used, and the sign bit is used to fill the vacated bit positions, it
    results in -1 (0xf...fffff) which is wrong.
    
    This change fixes the sign problem and supports negative values by
    casting n to long and replacing the shift right with div operation.
