If the thermal core tries to update the temperature from an uninitialized power supply, it will swawn the following warning: thermal thermal_zoneXX: failed to read out thermal zone (-19) But reading from an uninitialized power supply should not be considered as a fatal error, but the thermal core expects the -EAGAIN error to be returned in this particular case. So convert -ENODEV as -EAGAIN to express the fact that reading temperature from an uninitialized power supply shouldn't be a fatal error, but should indicate to the thermal zone it should retry later. It notably removes such messages on Qualcomm platforms using the qcom_battmgr driver spawning warnings until the aDSP firmware gets up and the battery manager reports valid data.
