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.
