This should not be implemented this way. Instead, the standard tempX_offset
attribute should be used, with appropriate code to determine affected
channels (since there is only one offset value, and since it can be enabled
per channel). A secondary question is if and how to set the temperature
offset via devicetree; that will have to be documented and approved by a
DT maintainer.  I would think, though, that the offset should be specified
in milli-degrees C and not as raw chip data.

Thanks,
