acpi thermal: fix result check
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
thermal_zone_device_register() uses the ERR_PTR macro on its return values.  A
correct check is to use the IS_ERR() macro.

The 2.6.25 kernels panic on Compaq AP550 without this patch as it has more
then 10 (THERMAL_MAX_TRIPS) trip points (there are 12).
