-EINVAL: Invalid Argument, supposed to be used for bad user input.
I don't see how that would apply here. amd_smn_read() returns
a valid error code. This error core should be returned to the caller,
or there needs to be an explanation why this is not appropriate.

The reason for ignoring the error should be explained here.
