[PATCH v2 5/5] iio: humidity: hts221: fix division by zero in calibration parsing

From: Adi Nata

Date: Thu Aug 13 2026 - 11:46:16 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.
