[PATCH] hwmon: nct7904: fix comparison of u8 variable ret with less than zero

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Jun 06 2019 - 08:43:09 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently u8 variable tmp is being checked for negative error returns
however this will be false since tmp is unsigned. Fix this by making
tmp an int.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Unsigned compared against 0")
Fixes: af55ab0b0792 ("hwmon: (nct7904) Add extra sysfs support for fan, voltage and temperature.")
