[Nouveau] [PATCH] drm/nouveau/therm/gp100: Do not report temperature when subdev is shadowed

[Karol Herbst]

well I just tried to say, that you are not fixing the issue you think
were fixing. In your case the GPU is powered off and you get garbage
values from any mmio read, so parsing those values is just wrong and
we need to prevent doing anything on the hw whenever it is powered off
directly in hwmon.
