When devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() is called from hwmon_thermal_add_sensor() it is possible that the relevant sensor is missing an OF node. In this case thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() returns -EINVAL which causes hwmon_thermal_add_sensor() to fail as well. This patch changes relevant return code of thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() to -ENODEV, which is tolerated by hwmon_thermal_add_sensor(). Here is a particular case of such behaviour: the Marvell ethernet PHYs driver registers hwmon device for the built-in temperature sensor (see drivers/net/phy/marvell.c). Since the sensor doesn't have associated OF node devm_hwmon_device_register() returns error which ultimately causes failure of the PHY driver's probe function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
