3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Guy Briggs <rbriggs@xxxxxxxxxx> commit da28d966f6aa942ae836d09729f76a1647932309 upstream. The return code from the registration of the thermal class is used to unallocate resources, but this failure isn't passed back to the caller of thermal_init. Return this failure back to the caller. This bug was introduced in changeset 4cb18728 which overwrote the return code when the variable was re-used to catch the return code of the registration of the genetlink thermal socket family.
