drivers: thermal: int340x_thermal: Fix sysfs race condition
[ Upstream commit 129699bb8c7572106b5bbb2407c2daee4727ccad ] Changes since V1: * Use dev_info instead of printk * Use dev_warn instead of BUG_ON Previously, sysfs_create_group was called before all initialization had fully run - specifically, before pci_set_drvdata was called. Since the sysctl group is visible to userspace as soon as sysfs_create_group returns, a small window of time existed during which a process could read from an uninitialized/partially-initialized device. This commit moves the creation of the sysctl group to after all initialized is completed. This ensures that it's impossible for userspace to read from a sysctl file before initialization has fully completed. To catch any future regressions, I've added a check to ensure that proc_thermal_emum_mode is never PROC_THERMAL_NONE when a process tries to read from a sysctl file. Previously, the aforementioned race condition could result in the 'else' branch running while PROC_THERMAL_NONE was set, leading to a null pointer deference.
