When user get/set cur_state fails, it should be some negative error value instead of whatever returned by acpi_evaluate_object() or from acpi_execute_simple_method(). The return value from these apis is some positive values greater than 0. For example if AE_NOT_FOUND is returned it will be "5". In other ACPI drivers, -ENODEV is returned when ACPI_FAILURE(status) is true. Do the same thing here for thermal sysfs callbacks for get and set for failures.
