[PATCH] staging: iio: ad2s1200: Fix sign extension

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Thu Jan 22 2015 - 18:10:19 EST


The line above makes vel a 12-bit quantity (st->rx[] is u8). The
intention is to sign-extend vel using bit 11 as the sign bit. But
because of C's promotion rules "vel = (vel << 4) >> 4;" is actually a
no-op, since vel is promoted to int before the inner
shift. sign_extend32 works equally well for 8 and 16 bits types, so
use that.
