    hwmon: (mcp3021) Fix broken output scaling · 347d7e45
    Stevens, Nick authored
    The mcp3021 scaling code is dividing the VDD (full-scale) value in
    millivolts by the A2D resolution to obtain the scaling factor. When VDD
    is 3300mV (the standard value) and the resolution is 12-bit (4096
    divisions), the result is a scale factor of 3300/4096, which is always
    one.  Effectively, the raw A2D reading is always being returned because
    no scaling is applied.
    
    This patch fixes the issue and simplifies the register-to-volts
    calculation, removing the unneeded "output_scale" struct member.
