It depends on the way of testing. It's not so obvious when you just
do a `cat /sys/class/power_supply/.../temperature`, since you just
get the raw integer.

As far as I know, power-supply has always used 1/10 °C. People tend
to get units wrong all the time though (i.e. mV instead of uV). I'm
not surprised, that this sneaked into the kernel.

Yes, this should probably have Fixes: fb972873a767 ("[BATTERY] One Laptop
