[PATCH] leds: pca9532: check i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() return value

From: Haibo Chen <[email protected]>

Coverity report INTEGER_OVERFLOW (tainted_data_return ->
cast_underflow -> overflow) in pca9532_getled().
pca9532_getled() stored the return value of i2c_smbus_read_byte_data()
into a char and used it directly to compute the LED state without
checking for an error. i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() returns a negative
error code on failure. On an I2C read error the negative value was
assigned to an unsigned type, triggering an integer underflow/overflow,
and a meaningless LED state was returned to the caller.

Read the value into an int, check for the error, and fall back to
PCA9532_OFF while emitting a warning when the read fails.
