On Kernel 4.0.5 the temperature reading was usually around 40°C. While that might not have been accurate either, it was at least plausible.

The temperature curve for the A20 SoC was not changed, if it did change then
you're using an old dtb file with a new kernel, you must always update your
dtb file together with the kernel.
