Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (tmp102) Fix jiffies wraparound in conversion-ready
 check

tmp102 records a one-shot deadline in ->ready_time at probe (and resume)
and, on every temperature read, refuses the read with -EAGAIN while
time_before(jiffies, ready_time) is true, in order to skip the first
~35 ms conversion.

->ready_time is an unsigned long compared with time_before(), whose
signed difference is only meaningful while the two values are within
LONG_MAX jiffies of each other. Because ->ready_time is set once and
never refreshed, jiffies keeps advancing away from it, and after 2^31
jiffies the difference flips sign. On a 32-bit HZ=100 kernel that
happens ~248.5 days after boot: time_before() then permanently reports
"not ready" and the driver returns -EAGAIN on every read, without ever
touching the sensor, until the next reboot.

Store the deadline as a 64-bit jiffies value and compare it with
get_jiffies_64()/time_before64(), which does not wrap in any practical
uptime.
