[PATCH v6] thermal: rockchip: make temperature reporting much more accurate

[Caesar Wang]

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

Changes in v6:
It's not really need,so delete the follows:
else if (code == TSADCV2_DATA_MASK)

Changes in v5:
Fixed some style.

Changes in v4:
"return -EAGAIN" instead of "return rk_tsadcv2_code_to_temp(code)"

Changes in v3:
Suggested-by Daniel Kurtz,
the check doesn't reject "code == 0xfff"
Fixed in rk_tsadcv2_code_to_temp(u32 code)

Changes in v2:
