Thanks for your patch!

No rounding anymoe?
val1 = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(mcelsius * tsc->coef.a1, 1000) + tsc->coef.b1;
val2 = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(mcelsius * tsc->coef.a2, 1000) + tsc->coef.b2;
Can the multiplication overflow?
I know mcelsius = -40000..120000/
What is the range of a1 and a2?

BTW, do we want to introduce rounding here, too?
(for INT_FIXPT(), it doesn't matter much for /2)?
