[PATCH -next] hwmon: (scmi) return -EINVAL when sensor information is unavailable

[Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>]

Passing NULL pointer to PTR_ERR will result in return value of 0
indicating success which is clearly not what it is intended here.

This patch returns -EINVAL instead when the sensor information is not
available.

Hi Guenter,

I will try to push this via ARM-SoC if possible before v4.17 merge window.
So please provide Ack if you are fine.

Regards,
Sudeep
