Add a guard against zero temp_factor in lvts_raw_to_temp() to prevent
division by zero and ensure safe conversion.

Is the temp_factor something else than a ro data statically initialized by the lvts_data structure ?

It is pointless to handle the case where the temp_factor is zero. If we read the temperature the kernel crashes immediately (which means it was not tested).

The temp_factor is an internal value of the driver. If the temp_factor is zero, the driver is buggy and should be fixed.
