I will rework this when dropping the die temp sysfs interface. This
was mostly so that
I didn't have to change any of the code there, but since we're going
to drop that
anyway it's redundant.

The calculation in the datasheet yields the temperature in degrees Celsius.
hwmon consumers expect temperatures in "millidegrees" Celsius as per the
sysfs interface documentation[1]. Regardless, as above I will likely rework this
when dropping the die temp sysfs interface so that things are a little
more logical.
