intel_menlo: extract return values using PTR_ERR
Need to extract errors using PTR_ERR macro and process accordingly.thermal_cooling_device_register returning NULL means that CONFIG_THERMAL=n and in that case no need to create symbolic links. Signed-off-by: Thomas Sujith <sujith.thomas@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
