On some machines like the ASUS Vivobook S14 writing the thermal policy
returns the currently writen thermal policy instead of an error code.

Ignore the return code to avoid falsely returning an error when the
thermal policy was written successfully.

I forgot to add the following tag:

Can we pick this patch for the next fixes pull?

Another user (Edoardo Brogiolo <brogioloedoardo@gmail.com>) reported a similar issue with another Asus machine,
see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301341 for details.

Are there any blockers left for this patch to get accepted upstream?

Thanks,

Hi Armin,

I don't think there are any blocker I'm aware of. It's just that I'm 
extremely busy right after the merge window has closed as usual.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-fixes branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-fixes branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
