In general, the kernel should report temperature readings exactly as
reported by the hardware. The cpu / gpu thermal driver works in 5 degree
increments,but we ought to do more accurate. The temperature will do
linear interpolation between the entries in the table.

Test= $md5sum /dev/zero &
$while true; do grep "" /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[1-2]/temp;
sleep .5; done

e.g. We can get the result as follows:
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp:39994
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp:39086
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp:39994
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp:39540
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp:39540
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp:39540
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp:39540
    /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2/temp:39994

Hi Caesar,

I think if the temp sensor reading was invalid we should return an
error code rather than just silently returning "max temp".
Returning an error here could then be propagated up by its only
caller, the ->get_temp() callback.

Note: 'code < v2_code_table[high].code' is always false, since code is
unsigned, and the last entry is 0.

Also, the check above doesn't reject "code == 0xfff".
Even worse, I believe in that case the below algorithm will eventually
set mid=0 and access v2_code_table[-1].code.

I think this is "interpolate", not "extrapolate".

Assuming the product fits in an unsigned long (and it will, since code
is only 12-bits), it is more precise to multiply first and then
divide, something like this:

   num = v2_code_table[mid].temp - v2_code_table[mid - 1].temp;
   num *= v2_code_table[mid - 1].code - code;
   denom = v2_code_table[mid - 1].code - v2_code_table[mid].code;
   return v2_code_table[mid - 1].temp + (num / denom);

yeah, if that can happen, then it must be fixed.

in this case yes, agreed too.
