meta-romulus: phosphor-hwmon workaround for fan speed
Romulus uses aspeed pwm and fan tacho, and its driver returns ETIMEDOUT
for fan speed when host is off, which causes phosphor-hwmon exit with
excpetion for fan_tacho sensors.
The workaround is to handle ETIMEDOUT and make it return -ETIMEDOUT
value for the sensor.

+Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: Return -ETIMEDOUT instead of throw exception
+
+Aspeed fan tach gives ETIMEDOUT error when host is powered off, it
+causes phosphor-hwmon exit with read failure exception.
+Make it return -ETIMEDOUT so that it gives negative value for fan speed
+as workaround.
