In current hwmon-next this should read back as -273C. See commit
9f14280c5ef3 ("hwmon: (cros_ec) Implement custom kelvin to celsius conversions")

"Before:" and "After:" are swapped?

Probing would be a bit faster by not calling this for each threshold,
but only doing it once. cros_ec_hwmon_priv::temp_threshold_supported
could become a bitmask for supported thresholds to be read in is_visible().
This can also replace is_cros_ec_cmd_available(EC_CMD_THERMAL_GET_THRESHOLD).
