It is always a good idea to use paranthesis around macro parameters

In this specific case, KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS() is used in
drivers/platform/x86/asus-wmi.c with parameter "value & 0xFFFF",
which due to operator evaluation order causes more or less random
results.

Maybe it's better to use a statement expression to avoid
multiple calculations of t

Maybe;

#define KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS(t)                            \
({                                                      \
        long _t = (long)(t) - 2732;                     \
        _t >= 0 ? (_t + 5) / 10 : (_t - 5) / 10;     \
})



Possibly, but I only want to have a bug fixed which should possibly be applied
to -stable at some point. As such, I prefer the minimalistic approach.
Anything more fancy on top of that can be submitted as separate patch.
