The values are taken from the BSP for A83T:

https://megous.com/git/linux/tree/drivers/thermal/sunxi-temperature.c?h=a83t-3.4-bsp-tbs-a711#n747

The datasheet only mentions recommended Ta (ambient operating temperature) range
-20 to +70°C. So die voltages will be larger than that. I guess that roughly
matches the BSP values.
