Subject: acpi thermal: fix result check
From: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@xxxxx>
The thermal_zone_device_register() uses ERR_PTR macro to return values. A
correct check is to use the IS_ERR macro.
The 2.6.25 kernels panic on Compaq AP550 without this patch as it has more
then 10 (THERMAL_MAX_TRIPS) trip points (there are 12).
