temp1 is too low. Just don't have a good idea how to adjust it. Maybe measure
at low and high load and come up with a better approximation.

I think I know the problem. hyst is supposed to show report absolute temperature,
not the hysteresis value itself. Looks like displays the hysteresis value itself
(ie the temperature difference/variance) here. The equation is applied to hyst,
which results in the negative value. The raw hysteresis value should be 104000,
just like the raw temperature (assuming no hysteresis is programmed).

Too bad.

Not much; all you can do is play around with the compute values to get reasonable
temperatures.

I'll get the hysteresis bug fixed.
