Subject[PATCH 1/3] hwmon: tmp421: handle I2C errors
Date
Function i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() can return a negative error number
instead of the data read if I2C transaction failed for whatever reason.

I consider this fix to be stable material as lack of error checking here
leads to serious issues on production hardware. 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.
