Documentation/hwmon/k10temp says:
| There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in
| sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree.
| Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual:
|
|   Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to
|   control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an
|   arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual
|   physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies
|   the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must
|   supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case
|   temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation.
