I've been looking now at temperature too
(/sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077/temp0_input).

I'm getting 33 degrees C [1], although the actual temperature in my
house is only 16 degrees C.  Is that because the temperature reported is
intentionally that *inside* the GTA04, and hence reasonably higher than
ambient?  If so, is 33 degrees a reasonable temperature to be measuring
inside the GTA04?

[1] To be precise, I mean that ((VALUE + 5) / 10) = 33, where VALUE is
`cat /sys/devices/platform/omap/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077/temp0_input`.
