In the dmesg is showing the message "failed to read out thermal zone"

After researching and debugging, I see that this specific error is
occurrenced because the thermal try read the temperature when is started,
but the firmware is not running yet.

For more legibiliti i change the tt.c for return EAGAIN when this was occurrence.
After this change, in my computer I compile and install kernel in /boot
and in my dmesg the message "failed to read out thermal zone" is not show
any more.

I would like to thanks for Rafael Wysocki <refael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> for
your suggestions in mu first patch that results in this another patch.

You could skip using the res variable and move the mutex lock here and simplify the above a bit. Ex:

        int temp;

-       mutex_lock(&mvm->mutex);
+       if (!iwl_mvm_firmware_running(mvm))
+               return -EAGAIN;

-       if (!iwl_mvm_firmware_running(mvm) ||
-           mvm->fwrt.cur_fw_img != IWL_UCODE_REGULAR) {
+       mutex_lock(&mvm->mutex);
+       if (mvm->fwrt.cur_fw_img != IWL_UCODE_REGULAR) {
                ret = -ENODATA;
                goto out;
        }

+ if (mvm->fwrt.cur_fw_img != IWL_UCODE_REGULAR) {
ret = -ENODATA;
goto out;
}
