Fine with me.

There's no specific reason, but the existing DECI_KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS() in
linux/thermal.h converts to 'long'.

Do you prefer changing 'long' to 'int'?

How about this?

{

}

static inline long millicelsius_to_kelvin(long t)
{
t = millicelsius_to_milli_kelvin(t);

return DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(t, MILLIDEGREE_PER_DEGREE);
}

static inline long deci_kelvin_to_celsius(long t)
{
t = milli_kelvin_to_millicelsius(t * MILLIDEGREE_PER_DECIDEGREE);

return DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(t, MILLIDEGREE_PER_DEGREE);
}

static inline long celsius_to_deci_kelvin(long t)
{
t = millicelsius_to_milli_kelvin(t * MILLIDEGREE_PER_DEGREE);

return DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(t, MILLIDEGREE_PER_DECIDEGREE);
}

/**

*/
static inline long deci_kelvin_to_millicelsius_with_offset(long t, long offset)
{
return t * MILLIDEGREE_PER_DECIDEGREE - offset;
}

static inline long deci_kelvin_to_millicelsius(long t)
{
return milli_kelvin_to_millicelsius(t * MILLIDEGREE_PER_DECIDEGREE);
}

{

return DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(t, MILLIDEGREE_PER_DECIDEGREE);

OK. I'll try as much as possible.
