As I said in the other thread, the NVMe spec only says a controller
reports the composite temperature and temperature sensor 1 through 8.
What temperature sensor N means is vendor specific.

OK. I can try, but I don't have arm or arm64 boards with PCIe for
testing with of-thermal.  So it'll be untested.

I only tested with the user_space governor.  There is no cooling device
to bind with this.

This routine is designed to return error code only when we're unable to
communicate with the device at all (i.e. nvme_submit_sync_cmd returns a
negative value).

We don't want to abandon device initialization just due to thermal zone
failures.  Because thermal zone device isn't mandatory to manage the
controllers, and the device like qemu doesn't provide smart log (according
to Keith).

The nvme_get_log() can return a negative value.  Only in this case,
nvme_thermal_zones_register() returns error and abandon the device
initialization.
