Subject: [PATCH] iio: magnetometer: tlv493d: fix magnetic field scale
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 23:07:36 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261014-tlv493d-scale-fix-v1-1-69a722176c06@gmail.com> (raw)
The TLV493D-A1B6 datasheet specifies a magnetic resolution of
98 uT/LSB (0.098 mT/LSB). IIO reports magnetic field in Gauss
(1 mT = 10 G), so the scale should be 0.98 G/LSB.
The driver currently reports 98/1000 = 0.098 G/LSB, which
under-reports the magnetic field by a factor of 10. The comment
also gives the resolution as 0.0098 mT (9.8 uT), mixing up units.
Correct the scale value and the comment.
Fixes: 106511d280c7 ("iio: magnetometer: add support for Infineon TLV493D 3D Magentic sensor")

Found while comparing this driver against the TLE493D-W2B6 register
map for a new driver I am working on. Compile-tested only; I do not
have TLV493D-A1B6 hardware.
