One would think so, but that doesn't fit with Jean's observation that he has to
enter -128 degC (or possibly 128 degC) for a decent temperature reading.

Jean, does the temperature increase if you put load onto the system ?
And which value in temp3_offset makes the reported temperature match the
temperature reported by k10temp ?

Thanks,
Guenter
