Well, at that time, your CPU was at 25 or 40 degC (the register value 
was 60). The problem relies on detecting the junction temperature.

Temperature = Register Value - Junction Temperature.
Junction Temperature = 100 or 85.

If you think the correct temperature is 40 degC, you might want to 
change the if clause for detecting the junction temperature.
Could you please show the contents of the cpu_model and cpu_mask variable?
