This breaks the build on 32 bit. result is s64 and the divisor is only known
at runtime, so the compiler emits a libgcc call instead of a shift, and
__divdi3 is only provided by sparc and parisc. SENSORS_CORSAIR_PSU just
depends on HID, so i386 and 32 bit arm are reachable.

On this patch applied to 2d2338c93da7:

  $ make ARCH=i386 defconfig
  $ ./scripts/config --set-val CONFIG_SENSORS_CORSAIR_PSU y
  $ make ARCH=i386 olddefconfig
  $ make ARCH=i386 vmlinux
  [...]

Only the divide is a problem, the multiply builds fine. div_s64() would do
it, or keeping a shift on the negative branch, since the divisor is a power
of two anyway.

The mantissa fix itself looks right to me. ((s16)((val & 0x7ff) << 5)) >> 5
puts bit 10 of the mantissa into the sign bit of the s16 before the
arithmetic shift brings it back, which is what the old order failed to do.

One small thing on the changelog: it says right shifting negative values is
implementation defined and that multiply and divide are used to avoid that,
but exp and mant are still computed with >> on values that can be negative.
That is the normal sign extension idiom and fine in practice, it just reads
as if those had been converted too.
