Re: [lm-sensors] [PATCH 1/2] Create a DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST macro to do division with rounding

The test program

    #include <stdio.h>
    int
    main()
    {
        signed int x = -1;
        printf("%d %d\n", x/2, x>>1);
        return 0;
    }

says

    0 -1

so it seems to make a difference.

All the best,
Jochen
