Subject: [PATCH] iio: adc: max1363: sign-extend bipolar differential channel reads
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 13:42:34 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810064234.1850833-1-congnt264@gmail.com> (raw)
The MAX1363 differential channels are bipolar (scan_type.sign = 's') and
the device returns those samples in two's complement. However
max1363_read_single_chan() masks the raw value to the ADC resolution and
stores it as-is, without sign extension. A negative differential reading
is therefore reported to userspace as a large positive value (for a 12-bit
part, -1 reads back as 4095).
These channels expose only IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW (no offset), so the raw sysfs
value is expected to be the signed result. Sign-extend the masked value
from the resolution bit for differential channels before returning it.
Single-ended channels are unipolar (sign = 'u') and are left unchanged.
Fixes: 168c9d95a940 ("iio:adc:max1363 move from staging.")
