TEMP_OUT register contains the 8-bit, 2's complement temperature value.
Let's mark the temperature scan element signed.

Sort of nitpinking but I think the commit description could be more assertive.
The main idea is that we want to make the scan element signed because the
data read from the TEMP_OUT register is in two's complement format and not
having the scan element marked as a signed number may cause it to be mishandled
and miss displayed. Nevertheless, I do think the patch is good so

Agreed. I might have just tweaked it to
"Mark the temperature element signed." + some of what Marcelo has below.
but given Andy's request on patch 1 means you are probably doing a v3, please
tidy this up as well.
Thanks and good catches on both of them!
