[PATCH 5/5] iio: humidity: hts221: fix division by zero in calibration parsing
From: Adi Nata
Date: Sat Aug 08 2026 - 05:02:25 EST
hts221_parse_rh_caldata() and hts221_parse_temp_caldata() divide by
(cal_x1 - cal_x0) without checking that the two calibration points
differ can cause division by zero.
Reject zero divisor with -EINVAL, logging the offending calibration
values. A device with such calibration data cannot produce meaningful
scale or offset values anyway.
