On my side, I'm not sure this is worth more than a comment. If
necessary, I can write that the datasheet specifies that the scale is
4/1.012 here also.

Else you end up with something like that (naive implementation):

#define SCALE (4 * 1000 / 1012)

val = -273150000 * SCALE / 1000000;
val2 = 273150000 * SCALE + 1000000 * val;

I don't feel this is any clearer because we can't use floating points in
the kernel anyway.
