-    The returned value from gtemp hwmc is a list of uint8_t, with:
-          - the 4 first values are the opcode of the request - 2a 0 0 0 in our case
-          - the remaining values are temperatures of several components, each represented
-            by 2 values: the first is the decimal part, and the second one is the whole value part
-            e.g.: if the 2 values are 90 28 (in hex):
-            * the whole value part is 0x28 = 40
