[PATCH 6.12 078/337] hwmon: (adt7470) Fix busy-loop and I2C flooding in update thread

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

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

From: Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit cb0b7f9c43b0abbd422a7e4c2c85e91db429207c ]

When userspace configures 'auto_update_interval' to 0 via sysfs, the
background kthread executes schedule_timeout_interruptible(0), which
returns immediately.

If 'num_temp_sensors' is concurrently or previously set to 0, the
msleep_interruptible() delay inside adt7470_read_temperatures() also
becomes 0. This combination forces the background thread into a tight,
unbounded busy-loop, hogging the CPU and flooding the I2C bus with a
continuous stream of transactions.

Fix this vulnerability by raising the lower limit of the clamp_val in
auto_update_interval_store() from 0 to 500 milliseconds. This guarantees
a reasonable minimum sleep window between sensor updates, protecting the
system from intentional or accidental I2C bus denial of service.
