Subject: [PATCH v2] iio: adc: max1363: sign-extend bipolar differential channel reads
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 23:44:46 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810164446.2555239-1-congnt264@gmail.com> (raw)

MAX1363 differential channels are bipolar (scan_type.sign = 's'), but
max1363_read_single_chan() masks the raw value to the ADC resolution
without sign-extending it. Negative differential readings are therefore
reported to userspace as large positive values (e.g. -1 as 4095 on a
12-bit part).

Sign-extend the masked value from the resolution bit for differential
channels. Single-ended channels are unipolar and are left unchanged.

Fixes: d1325cf45077 ("Staging: IIO: max1363 ADC driver")

Changes in v2:
- Condense the commit message (Andy Shevchenko).
- Fix the Fixes: tag to the original driver commit d1325cf45077 rather than
  the staging->iio move; the bug has been present since the driver was added
  in staging (Andy Shevchenko).
