From: Stephan Gerhold <stephan@gerhold.net> commit b500c086e4110829a308c23e83a7cdc65b26228a upstream. At the moment, reading from in_magn_*_raw in sysfs tends to return large values around 65000, even though the output of ak8974 is actually limited to ±32768. This happens because the value is never converted to the signed 16-bit integer variant. Add an explicit cast to s16 to fix this.
