I think it's more clear if we define one init_sensor function per SoC.
The common code is really little and factor that out seems to me like
too much modularization.

Why would we want that? Do you think it'll be more readable?

Yes, I guess so.

No, I don't have the info. I guess that the valid range 'reg'
can take are the values that span a temperature between 25 ºC (or
lower if it's winter) and when your CPU is on fire :-)

Yes, the resulting temperature is in millidegree celsius,
as required by the thermal framework:

Thanks for the review!
