When the LM75 temperature sensor measures a temperature below 0 C, the
current driver does not perform sign extension, so the result returned is
256 C too high.  This patch fixes the problem.

The patch was tested on the AMCC Sequoia board, which uses the AD7414
temperature sensor.  It appears that other drivers, such as "ds1621.c",
may have the same bug, but I have no way of testing these.
