[PATCH 1/2] drivers/hwmon/ad7314.c: Do proper sign extension

[Rasmus Villemoes]

The comment above (data << 2) >> 2 explains what the intention is: To
use bit 13 of the 14-bit value data as the sign bit. However, this
doesn't work due to C's promotion rules. data has type s16, but data
<< 2 has type int. To get sign extension, that expression would have
to be cast back to an s16 before being shifted (at which point C's
promotion rules would then kick in again and promote the left operand
to int). As it stands, both expressions are no-ops for any value of
data.

Avoid these subtleties by using the existing API for
this. sign_extend32 works equally well for 8 and 16 bit types.
