From: Alexander Soldatov <a.soldatov@xxxxxxxxx> The occ driver supports two formats for the temp sensor value. The OCC firmware for P8 supports only the first format, for which no range checking or error processing is performed in the driver. Inspecting the OCC sources for P8 reveals that OCC may send a special value 0xFFFF to indicate that a sensor read timeout has occured, see https://github.com/open-power/occ/blob/master_p8/src/occ/cmdh/cmdh_fsp_cmds.c#L395 That situation wasn't handled in the driver. This patch adds invalid temp value check for the sensor data format 1 and handles it the same way as it is done for the format 2, where EREMOTEIO is reported for this case.
