I'm the author of said driver. No need to sigh, that behavior is by
design for good reasons :-) The driver returns what the chip reads at
its inputs. For temp1, this value depends on the implementation of the
board (value of external scaling resistors). The driver can't possibly
know what does values are so scaling is left to the user. Temp2 is
different since it's the chips internal temperature which is always
identical for all boards and thus the driver does the correct scaling.
Check out Documentation/hwmon/vt1211 in the kernel source tree for a
detailed description of the driver.
