According to [1] and [2], the temperature values are in tenths of degree
Celsius. Exposing the Celsius value makes the battery appear on fire:

  $ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_olpc_battery
  ...
      temperature:         236.9 degrees C

Tested on OLPC XO-1 and OLPC XO-1.75 laptops.
It's interesting that the very author of that code is not included in
so-o long Cc list :)

David, do you remember if and how you had tested temperature report of
the battery on OLPC? I guess this kind of error would be appear immediately.
It depends on the way of testing. It's not so obvious when you just
do a `cat /sys/class/power_supply/.../temperature`, since you just
get the raw integer.
OTOH it might be that power framework had changed requirements (which
would be noticeable change).
As far as I know, power-supply has always used 1/10 ?C. People tend
to get units wrong all the time though (i.e. mV instead of uV). I'm
not surprised, that this sneaked into the kernel.
If the latter is true, this patch misses Fixes tag. Actually in any
case it misses it.
Yes, this should probably have Fixes: fb972873a767 ("[BATTERY] One Laptop
Per Child power/battery driver").
