Subject: [PATCH 4.8 106/125] iwlwifi: mvm: bail out if CTDP start operation fails

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@...el.com>

commit 75cfe338b8a6fadaa28879a969047554701a7589 upstream.

We were assigning the return value of iwl_mvm_ctdp_command() to a
variable, but never checking it.  If this command fails, we should not
allow the interface up process to proceed, since it is potentially
dangerous to ignore thermal management requirements.

Fixes: commit 5c89e7bc557e ("iwlwifi: mvm: add registration to cooling device")
