There is still one byte left in the sensor address structure, which I
planned to put data format flags into, and the signees can be one of
those. I know that interpreting the reading for the VRM temperature
misses something, because while the reported value matches the one
reported by the ASUS software when the system thermal state is close
to a thermal equilibrium, right after booting its value (at least with
my board) is lower than the ambient temperature.
