Subject: [PATCH v2] hwmon: (scpi-hwmon) shows the negative temperature properly

The scpi hwmon shows the sub-zero temperature in an unsigned integer,
which would confuse the users when the machine works in low temperature
environment. This shows the sub-zero temperature in an signed value and
users can get it properly from sensors.

---
Changes since v1:
- Add judgment for sensor->info.class. If it is TEMPERATURE situation,
return the sensor value as a signed value, otherwise return it as a
unsigned value.

Please ask Xin Chen to send a separate Tested-by: tag.

'value' is u64, so it needs a typecast to s64.

Also, please add a comment ahead of the if statement explaining that temperature
sensor values are treated as signed values based on observation even though that
is not explicitly specified, and because an unsigned u64 temperature does not
really make practical sense.

else after return is not needed
