CPU Temperature Patch

[Michel Lanners]

Hi there,

On  20 Sep, this message from D.J. Osguthorpe echoed through cyberspace:

Yes, that is so by design: 5 bit A/D for a range of 0 - 128 degrees.
Found that in some paper on the Thermal Assist Unit (ref. 2 in the
appnote).

By the way, the uncalibrated sensor has an accuracy of +- 12 degrees.
