Conversion from raw values to signed integers has been refactored using
the macros in bitops.h.

Please also mention that this fixes a bug in negative temperature conversions.

Kind of unusual to do that for minor changes like this. Imagine if everyone would do that.
The commit log is what gives you credit.

Please just leave the variable type alone. it is also used for the return value
from i2c_smbus_read_word_swapped(), which is an int, and changing it to s32 doesn't
really make the code better.

Can you send me a register map for the chip ? I would like to write a module test.

Thanks,
