temp_factor is used in lvts_temp_to_raw() and lvts_raw_to_temp(). If
platform data is incorrect and temp_factor is zero, it could cause a
division by zero. Fail the probe early to prevent a kernel crash.

That's the only nitpick that I've got here, and I'm fine either way, anyway, as
this then kind of boils down to personal preference, in a way.

So, regardless of this getting fixed (by the maintainer or by you) or not:
