X is not thermometer. The thermometer is {-1, 0, 1, 2}. X is {0, 1, 2}.
All possible X valueswritten in the comments:

ar9003_hw_get_thermometer used only in ar9003_hw_thermometer_apply:

     static void ar9003_hw_thermometer_apply(struct ath_hw *ah)
     {
         struct ath9k_hw_capabilities *pCap = &ah->caps;
         int thermometer = ar9003_hw_get_thermometer(ah);
         u8 therm_on = (thermometer < 0) ? 0 : 1;

         REG_RMW_FIELD(ah, AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4,
                   AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4_THERM_ON_OVR, therm_on);
         if (pCap->chip_chainmask & BIT(1))
             REG_RMW_FIELD(ah, AR_PHY_65NM_CH1_RXTX4,
                       AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4_THERM_ON_OVR, therm_on);
         if (pCap->chip_chainmask & BIT(2))
             REG_RMW_FIELD(ah, AR_PHY_65NM_CH2_RXTX4,
                       AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4_THERM_ON_OVR, therm_on);

         therm_on = (thermometer < 0) ? 0 : (thermometer == 0); /* X = 0 */
         REG_RMW_FIELD(ah, AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4,
                   AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4_THERM_ON, therm_on);
         if (pCap->chip_chainmask & BIT(1)) {
             therm_on = (thermometer < 0) ? 0 : (thermometer == 1);    
/* X = 1 */
             REG_RMW_FIELD(ah, AR_PHY_65NM_CH1_RXTX4,
                       AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4_THERM_ON, therm_on);
         }
         if (pCap->chip_chainmask & BIT(2)) {
             therm_on = (thermometer < 0) ? 0 : (thermometer == 2);    
/* X = 2 */
             REG_RMW_FIELD(ah, AR_PHY_65NM_CH2_RXTX4,
                       AR_PHY_65NM_CH0_RXTX4_THERM_ON, therm_on);
         }
     }

There is no X = -1.
