Subject: [PATCH] iio: humidity: am2315: fix negative temperature decoding
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 19:54:50 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260928142450.103799-1-vidhu.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
The AM2315/AM2320 report temperature as a sign-magnitude value,
with bit 15 as the sign and bits 14-0 as the magnitude.
am2315_read_data() stores the raw value directly in an s16, causing
negative temperatures to be interpreted as two's complement. Both the
read_raw and the triggered buffer paths are affected.
Decode the sign bit before storing the temperature value. Positive
readings are unaffected.
Fixes: 366a3270c1c5 ("iio: humidity: Add support for AM2315")

Other implementations [1] [2] for the same sensor have hit this bug when the
sensor was placed in a freezer, although neither is kernel code.
