thermal_sys: check get_temp return value
The return value of the get_temp function is not checked when doing a thermal zone update. This may lead to a critical shutdown if get_temp fails and the content of the temp variable is incorrectly set higher than the critical trip point. This has been observed on a system with incorrect ACPI implementation where the corresponding methods were not serialized and therefore sometimes triggered ACPI errors (AE_ALREADY_EXISTS). The following critical shutdowns indicated a temperature of 2097 C, which was obviously wrong. The patch adds a return value check that jumps over all trip point evaluations printing a warning if get_temp fails. The trip points are evaluated again on the next polling interval with successful get_temp execution.
