If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Herman van Hazendonk commit 55052184ac9011db2ea983e54d6c21f0b1079a12 upstream. st_sensors_read_axis_data() unconditionally decoded multi-byte results with get_unaligned_le16() / get_unaligned_le24() regardless of the channel's declared scan_type.endianness. For every ST sensor that has used this helper since it was introduced this happened to be fine because the ST IMU/accel/gyro/pressure families publish their data registers as little-endian and the channel specs in those drivers declare IIO_LE accordingly. The LSM303DLH magnetometer however publishes its X/Y/Z output as a pair of big-endian bytes (the H register sits at the lower address, 0x03/0x05/0x07, and the L register immediately after), and its channel specs in st_magn_core.c correctly declare IIO_BE -- but read_axis_data() ignored that and decoded as little-endian, swapping the high and low bytes of every magnetometer sample. The LSM303DLHC and LSM303DLM share the same st_magn_16bit_channels (IIO_BE) and were therefore byte-swapped by the same bug; users of those parts will see different in_magn_*_raw values after this fix lands. The bug is most visible on a stationary chip: in earth's field the true X reading is small and the high byte sits at 0x00, so swapping the bytes pins sysfs X at exactly the low byte's pattern (e.g. 0x00F0 = 240). Y and Z still appear "to vary" because their magnitudes are larger and the noise in the low byte produces big swings in the swapped high byte: before (LSM303DLH flat, sysfs in_magn_*_raw): X=240 (stuck), Y= 12032..23296, Z=-16128..-9728 after (direct i2c-dev big-endian decode, same chip same orientation): X≈-4096, Y≈210, Z≈80 (sensible values reflecting earth's ambient field at low gauss range) Fix read_axis_data() to dispatch on ch->scan_type.endianness and call get_unaligned_be16() / get_unaligned_be24() when the channel declares IIO_BE. Existing IIO_LE consumers (st_accel, st_gyro, st_pressure, st_lsm6dsx and others) are unaffected because their channel specs already declare IIO_LE and the LE path is unchanged. While restructuring the branches, replace the previously implicit silent-success-with-uninitialised-*data fall-through for byte_for_channel outside 1..3 with an explicit return -EINVAL. No in-tree ST sensor publishes such a channel, but the new behaviour is strictly safer than handing userspace garbage.
