[PATCH 3/3] hwmon: (ltc4282) Fix parsing adi,current-limit-sense-microvolt

ltc4282_parse_dt() evaluates the wrong variable when parsing the current
limit.

When the adi,current-limit-sense-microvolt property is parsed into
st->vsense_max, the subsequent switch statement evaluates the unrelated
val variable instead of st->vsense_max:

drivers/hwmon/ltc4282.c:ltc4282_parse_dt() {
    ...
        ret = device_property_read_u32(dev, "adi,current-limit-sense-microvolt",
                                       &st->vsense_max);
        if (!ret) {
                int reg_val;

                switch (val) {
                case 12500:
                        reg_val = 0;
                        break;
    ...
}

Because val holds a small integer representing vin_mode (from 0 to 3), it
never matches any of the valid current limit cases.

This causes it to always fall through to the default error case, return
-EINVAL, and aborts probe initialization for any device tree using this
property.

Validate st->vsense_max instead to fix the problem.
