The KX022A provides the accelerometer data in two subsequent registers.
The registers are laid out so that the value obtained via bulk-read of
these registers can be interpreted as signed 16-bit little endian value.
The read value is converted to cpu_endianes and stored into 32bit integer.
The le16_to_cpu() casts value to unsigned 16-bit value, and when this is
assigned to 32-bit integer the resulting value will always be positive.
This has not been a problem to users (at least not all users) of the sysfs
interface, who know the data format based on the scan info and who have
converted the read value back to 16-bit signed value. This isn't
compliant with the ABI however.
This, however, will be a problem for those who use the in-kernel
interfaces, especially the iio_read_channel_processed_scale().
The iio_read_channel_processed_scale() performs multiplications to the
returned (always positive) raw value, which will cause strange results
when the data from the sensor has been negative.
Fix the read_raw format by casting the result of the le_to_cpu() to
signed 16-bit value before assigning it to the integer. This will make
the negative readings to be correctly reported as negative.
This fix will be visible to users by changing values returned via sysfs
to appear in correct (negative) format.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
