I tested on both Exynos5422 Odroid XU4 and Exynos5800 Peach Pi boards.

The temperatures levels reported for these two boards on a warm room are:

Odroid XU4

# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp
50000
50000
54000
51000
48000

Peach Pi

# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp
42000
44000
27000 <-- weird value for thermal zone 2 like zone 0 in your XU3 lite
45000
45000

And the efuse values for the TMU devices are:

Odroid XU4

TMU0 = 45
TMU1 = 44
TMU2 = 44
TMU3 = 46
TMU3 = 46

Peach Pi

TMU0 = 44
TMU1 = 46
TMU2 = 36
TMU3 = 53
TMU3 = 46

The fused value for TMU2 is < 40 so that explains the weird temperature
level for thermal zone 2 in Peach. So after your patch, makes more sense:

# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp
41000
42000
45000
43000
43000

I wonder though if 0 is the best value or if we should just lower more
to cover the used e-fuse values in Exynos5 boards. But as you said,
we have no knowledge about these limits...
