[PATCH 1/2] W1: w1_therm.c ds18b20 decode freezing temperatures correctly

[David Fries]

commit c4ad974f3acef11e538e825ca0cb73be6faf2461
Author: David Fries <david@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Sun Nov 4 18:14:21 2007 -0600

Corrected the decoding of negative C temperatures. The code did a binary
OR of two bytes to make a 16 bit value, but assignd it to an integer.
This caused the value to not be sign extended and to loose that it was a
negative number in the assignment.
Before the patch (in my freezer),
w1_slave
ed fe 4b 46 7f ff 03 10 e4 : crc=e4 YES
ed fe 4b 46 7f ff 03 10 e4 t=4078
With the patch,
e3 fe 4b 46 7f ff 0d 10 81 : crc=81 YES
e3 fe 4b 46 7f ff 0d 10 81 t=-17
