Don't bail when a sensor fails to register with the
thermal zone and allow other sensors to register.
This allows other sensors to register with thermal
framework even if one sensor fails registration.

I'm not sure if ignoring the error is really safe. Can you describe the
real situation you want to overcome ? How do you differentiate critical
sensors ?

The driver will always try to register 4 thermal zones, including cpu,
gpu, mem and pll, but if the dts file doesn't set the corresponding
sensors, then the register will be failed.
Normally, the dts file will set all 4 sensors, but there may have some
platform doesn't support them all. So we post this patch.

BTW, what do you mean "critical sensors"? We will set critical trip temp
for all sensors.

Ignoring errors is not the way to go to support different platforms. Fix
the DT.

I meant sensor for thermal zone getting really high temperature.

The issue isn't in DT file. The Tegra soc thermal include 4 sensors:
cpu, gpu, mem, pll. But in some platforms, for example, we may only need
to support 2 sensors, such as cpu and gpu, so we only configure these
two senors in DT file. But the driver will always try to register 4
sensors, cpu/gpu/mem/pll, so mem and pll will be registered failed. So
in this case we need to ignoring the failure, and continue to enable the
driver.

We doesn't have the critical sensors. We set the critical trip temp for
all registered sensors. And these trip temp is set to the Tegra
hardware. So it mean if the temperature reached the critical trip point,
then the system will be shutdown directly.

You can fix this by changing the driver to support the platform and
register the sensor you are interested in.

Ignoring errors is not a good idea.

If hit the errors, the driver will print out the warning. In current
code, the driver probe routine will return failure directly, indeed it
didn't do anything either except print out warnings.
I think this error should not block other sensors' registration. Let's
consider this case, we have four sensors, if the one sensor register
failed, then the driver return probe failure, so the drive will not be
enabled, and other sensor can't work either, it mean the device may boot
up without any thermal sensors.
Or if the error is the -ENODEV, that mean the we didn't set
corresponding sensor id in the dt file, so we can continue to register.
If the error is other value, then we can return directly.

It is a possibility but may be there are a couple of alternatives:

1. If there is a compatible string for the platform variant, use it to
probe the right sensors

or

2. Use the qoriq driver approach by reparsing the DT and find out the
thermal zone and their respective sensor id.
