[hwmon PATCH v2 8/8] hwmon: (adt7470) Fix PWM auto temp state array and bounds check

Message-ID <[email protected]>
In pwm_auto_temp_store(), the parsed user input was missing bounds
checks, allowing values > 0xF to overflow into the adjacent channel's
bits. Furthermore, the value was being incorrectly written to the
pwm_automatic state array instead of pwm_auto_temp.

Fix this by rejecting values > 0xF with -EINVAL, and assigning the
value to the correct array only after a successful I2C write.
