[PATCH v2] iio: adc: ltc2471: Fix LTC2473 differential offset
From: raoxu
Date: Mon Nov 09 2026 - 05:40:27 EST
From: Xu Rao <raoxu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The LTC2473 reports its differential conversion result as an unsigned
16-bit value spanning -VREF to +VREF. The IIO scale is consequently
reported as 2 * VREF divided by 2^16.
IIO offsets are expressed in raw codes, but the driver currently returns
-LTC2471_VREF, which is a millivolt value. This makes the processed
reading incorrect: with a 1.25 V reference, the midpoint raw code is
shifted by 1250 instead of 32768 codes.
Return the raw-code offset so that the midpoint maps to 0 mV and the
endpoints map to -VREF and +VREF as intended. The single-ended LTC2471
does not expose the offset attribute and is unaffected.
The supplied fix was reviewed and this commit message prepared with
OpenCode AI assistance.

Changes in v2:
- Replace the raw -32768 literal with the named LTC2473_DIFF_OFFSET
macro.
