From bb070e43497d4fcfea7d8b52003fe1376c218343 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krzysztof Helt Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2008 17:41:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] acpi thermal: fix result check 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).
