Seems you lost something there, I'm quite interested in getting the actual
formula you used so that we can update the driver to do the right thing
on the A10 (it seems the current formula is correct for sun5i and sun7i, but not
for sun4i / the A10).

This seems quite good actually, as the rtp sensor code measures die 
temperature, and
the ds18b20 is attached to the casing of the die it is logically for it to lag 
behind.
