[PATCH v2 2/2] thermal: intel: int340x: Check return value of ptc_create_groups()

From: aravindanilraj0702

Date: Sun Mar 29 2026 - 03:07:46 EST


From: Aravind Anilraj <aravindanilraj0702@xxxxxxxxx>

proc_thermal_ptc_add() ignores the return value of ptc_create_groups(),
causing the driver to silenty continue even if sysfs group creation
fails. The thermal control interface would be unavailable with no
indication of failure.

Check the return value and on failure clean up any sysfs groups that
were successfully created before the error, then propagate the error to
the caller which already handles it correctly via goto err_rem_rapl.
