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.

Fixes: b23688aefb8b ("hwmon: add support for sensors exported via ARM SCMI")

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
