18  * Originally this was part of drivers/hwmon/bt1-pvt.c.
19  * There the following conversion is used and should serve as an example here:
20  *
21  * The original translation formulae of the temperature (in degrees of Celsius)
22  * to PVT data and vice-versa are following:
23  *
24  * N = 1.8322e-8*(T^4) + 2.343e-5*(T^3) + 8.7018e-3*(T^2) + 3.9269*(T^1) +
25  *     1.7204e2
26  * T = -1.6743e-11*(N^4) + 8.1542e-8*(N^3) + -1.8201e-4*(N^2) +
27  *     3.1020e-1*(N^1) - 4.838e1
28  *
29  * where T = [-48.380, 147.438]C and N = [0, 1023].
30  *
31  * They must be accordingly altered to be suitable for the integer arithmetics.
32  * The technique is called 'factor redistribution', which just makes sure the
33  * multiplications and divisions are made so to have a result of the operations
34  * within the integer numbers limit. In addition we need to translate the
35  * formulae to accept millidegrees of Celsius. Here what they look like after
36  * the alterations:
37  *
38  * N = (18322e-20*(T^4) + 2343e-13*(T^3) + 87018e-9*(T^2) + 39269e-3*T +
39  *     17204e2) / 1e4
40  * T = -16743e-12*(D^4) + 81542e-9*(D^3) - 182010e-6*(D^2) + 310200e-3*D -
41  *     48380
42  * where T = [-48380, 147438] mC and N = [0, 1023].
