Cool. Although needs to be processed since it is signed value, and
because it it is really just 0C based readings with 0.25C steps.. But
will look into that when I get a chance.

Anyway did hack in basic support so v4l2grab so I could test the
sensor, and seems to work well but needs some colorized processing to
be useful of course.
