hi Jean, etal,
Im looking to understand why my temps are so high,
esp in comparison to values from my soekris as obtained from
http://phk.freebsd.dk/soekris/env4801/
VREF = 1.214 V245 = 2.450
Temp 2 (status=0x81) 54 C
in your code,
data->in_vref = (i&0x02) ? 3025 : 2966;
dev_dbg(&new_client->dev, "Using %s reference voltage\n",
(i&0x02) ? "external" : "internal");
youve got 2 magical constants, where are they from ?
I cant find mention of them in the pdf, but theyre/its used to scale
the voltages read by show_in_input()
return sprintf(buf, "%u\n", IN_FROM_REG(data->in[attr->index],
data->in_vref));
#define IN_FROM_REG(val,ref) (((val) * (ref) + 128) / 256)
I think my temp answers lie elsewhere (perhaps a cast to s8 for the
register value),
but Im hoping your answer wrt the constants will clarify some stuff.

BTW, (since Im writing), my patchset for pc87366 sensors-dev-attrs
(done against rc4-mm1), also applies (clean, iirc) to rc5-mm1, and works
there.
