w83627ehf crash in 5.6.0-rc2-00055-gca7e1fd1026c

[Meelis Roos]

While reading w83627ehf sensors output on D425KT mainboard, I consistently get NULL dereference as below.

5.5.0 worked OK but gave a warning on driver load:
[  104.514954] w83627ehf: Found W83627DHG-P chip at 0x290
[  104.515634] w83627ehf w83627ehf.656: hwmon_device_register() is deprecated. Please convert the driver to use hwmon_device_register_with_info().

This is dmesg from current git (loading the driver and reading sensors with lm-sensors - no driver loading warning any more):
