[PATCH linux dev-4.13 1/2] Revert "drivers/hwmon/occ: Add temperature fault attribute and VRM temp alarm"

[Eddie James]

From: "Edward A. James" <eajames at us.ibm.com>

This reverts commit e55423ee10a5057338d24383c00e813436a126ea.

Apologies for pushing this up so early... Userspace applications aren't
ready for this change. The hwmon polling application cannot accept EGAIN
yet, and we can't be returning apparent errors if the sensor is
temporarily unavailable.
