[ Upstream commit 1fefca6c57fb928d2131ff365270cbf863d89c88 ] The ACPI specification says: "If an error occurs while obtaining the meter reading or if the value is not available then an Integer with all bits set is returned" Since the "integer" is 32 bits in case of the ACPI power meter, userspace will get a power reading of 2^32 * 1000 miliwatts (~4.29 MW) in case of such an error. This was discovered due to a lm_sensors bugreport (https://github.com/lm-sensors/lm-sensors/issues/460). Fix this by returning -ENODATA instead.

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.
