A few other drivers also do this
(drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nvkm/subdev/clk/base.c,
drivers/macintosh/windfarm_pm121.c), however that doesn't mean it's a
good idea. Will change to degC or C.

Ouch, my code is indeed dumb ...

Seems reasonable, will do.

Thanks for pointing that out. I agree that we should keep things
simple, chip->initialized to true at the end of qpnp_tm_init() sounds
good to me.

An alternative could be to return THERMAL_TEMP_INVALID, however I
don't see this handled outside of thermal_core.c, not sure if it could
throw some other code off.

Comments from thermal folks on either approach (or alternatives) are
definitely welcome :)

Thanks for the review!
