Re: [PATCH] thermal: consistently use int for temperatures

The thermal code uses int, long and unsigned long for temperatures
in different places.

Using an unsigned type limits the thermal framework to positive
temperatures without need. Also several drivers currently will report
temperatures near UINT_MAX for temperatures below 0°C. This will probably
immediately shut the machine down due to overtemperature if started below
0°C.

'long' is 64bit on several architectures. This is not needed since INT_MAX °mC
is above the melting point of all known materials.

Consistently use a plain 'int' for temperatures throughout the thermal code and
the drivers. This only changes the places in the drivers where the temperature
is passed around as pointer, when drivers internally use another type this is
not changed.
