Even higher than critical temperature should be accepted. see my
further comments below.

I guess this check is confusing. Actually instead of returning
emulating temperature it is returning actual temperature. But the
important thing to look here is that actual temperature is higher than
critical temperature. So this check prevents the user from suppressing
the critical temperature and hence prevents from burning up the chip.

Emulating critical temperature is very much needed.
