[PATCH] iio: hid-sensors: fix fractional part for unit exponents -7 and -8

From: Srinivas Pandruvada

Date: Mon Nov 02 2026 - 17:23:34 EST


split_micro_fraction() scales the remainder to micro units by
multiplying it by 10^(6 - exp). The unit exponent of a HID field goes
down to -8, so exp can be 7 or 8 here. Then the argument of int_pow()
is negative, which the unsigned parameter turns into a huge power of
ten: 0 modulo 2^64. As a result, the fractional part of a value read
from the hysteresis attributes is always reported as 0.

Divide by 10^(exp - 6) in these two cases. This matches the reverse
conversion in convert_to_vtf_format().
