More simply avoid _get_pres_precision returning a value that is in the form
that requires us to immediately undo the BIT() logic at the end of that function.
One way to do that is to just call the regmap_read() directly here.

Just call rc = regmap_read(data->regmap, DPS310_TMP_CFG, val);
here and use 
*val = scale_factors[val & GENMASK(2, 0)];
here which I think ends up with the same value.
