Subject: [PATCH] thermal: intel: x86_pkg_temp_thermal: Fix bogus trip temperature

The tj_max value obtained from the Intel TCC library are in Celsius,
whereas the thermal subsystem operates in milli-Celsius.
This discrepancy leads to incorrect trip temperature calculations.

Fix bogus trip temperature by converting tj_max to milli-Celsius Unit.

Commit 983eb370cb87 ("thermal/x86_pkg_temp_thermal: Use Intel TCC
library") converts tj_max to use the standard API without switching the
Unit, which is a bug. This was mitigated by the next commit 58374a3970a0
("thermal/x86_pkg_temp_thermal: Add support for handling dynamic tjmax")
which uses the Celsius tj_max for failure check only.

This may confuse the maintainer and the bug was introduced by commit
8ef0ca4a177d ("Merge back other thermal control material for 6.3."),
when addressing the conflicts with commit d3ecaf17b586
("thermal/drivers/intel: Use generic thermal_zone_get_trip() function").
