However, they are already masked away when reading the temperature in
tmp105_read:

        s->buf[s->len ++] = (((uint16_t) s->temperature) >> 8);
        s->buf[s->len ++] = (((uint16_t) s->temperature) >> 0) &
                (0xf0 << ((~s->config >> 5) & 3));              /* R */

The equivalence of the formula can be proved as follows:

   ((int16_t) (temp * 0x800 / 128000)) << 4
          = (int16_t) (temp * 0x8000 / 128000) & ~15
          = (int16_t) (temp * (0x100 * 0x80) / (1000 * 0x80)) & ~15
          = (int16_t) (temp * 0x100 / 1000) & ~15

and the AND can be removed as mentioned above.

Yeah, if only tmp105-test already tested the setter. :)
