It might be worth sourcing public documentation, if you have any, indicating where these numeric values ultimately come from (the offset for absolute zero is easy to figure out, but the rest, not so much).

I'm only privy to things that can be found with a google search.

So at the moment I'm not aware of proper first party documentation on the thermal sensor.

So https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.9-rc4/source/arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2711.dtsi#L413 gives us the base+slope values (410040, 487). Given the linux the units are in 1/1000h C, the remainder of the calculation is to adjust to 1/10th K.

There is also https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/frequency-management.md

There is also a bit of documentation around "temp_limit"

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/overclocking.md

Which names 80-85C as the region that the cores should be throttled and some other thermal recommendations.

Finally, various mentions of the AVS (beyond the official document naming the int, but not the base address despite it being in the DT) in commit messages/etc help to clarify things, but none are particularly helpful on their own.



Apart from that:

The current mainline DT indicates that the thermal offset
on the rpi is 410040 rather than the 419949 being used.
This means our temp calculation is offset nearly 10C higher
when running in ACPI mode vs DT.
