I understand that but the code does:

static int thermal_acpi_get_temp(struct acpi_device *adev, char
*object_name)
{
...

return deci_kelvin_to_millicelsius(temp);
}

All the callers do:

...

ret = thermal_acpi_get_temp(adev, name);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;
/* This could be an error
* or negative millicelsius temperature
*/

/* here we already have millicelsius */
trip->temperature = ret;
...

So I guess we want to do:

...

ret = thermal_acpi_get_temp(adev, name);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;

/* we convert here instead in thermal_acpi_get_temp() */
trip->temperature = deci_kelvin_to_millicelsius(ret);
...

Sounds good ?
