From: Paul Fertser fercerpav@gmail.com Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 12:30:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (tmp421) handle I2C errors

Function i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() can return a negative error number instead of the data read if I2C transaction failed for whatever reason.

Lack of error checking can lead to serious issues on production hardware, e.g. errors treated as temperatures produce spurious critical temperature-crossed-threshold errors in BMC logs for OCP server hardware. The patch was tested with Mellanox OCP Mezzanine card emulating TMP421 protocol for temperature sensing which sometimes leads to I2C protocol error during early boot up stage.
