Guenter Roeck 962b2a3188 hwmon: Handle failure to register sensor with thermal zone correctly
commit 1b5f517cca upstream.

If an attempt is made to a sensor with a thermal zone and it fails,
the call to devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() may return -ENODEV.
This may result in crashes similar to the following.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000003cd

Jon Hunter reports that the exact call sequence is:

hwmon_notify_event()
  --> hwmon_thermal_notify()
    --> thermal_zone_device_update()
      --> update_temperature()
        --> mutex_lock()

The hwmon core needs to handle all errors returned from calls
to devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(). If the call fails
with -ENODEV, report that the sensor was not attached to a
thermal zone  but continue to register the hwmon device.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
