[PATCH v2] hwmon: (lm80) fix a missing check of the status of SMBus read

From: Kangjie Lu
Date: Fri Dec 21 2018 - 14:01:45 EST


If lm80_read_value() fails, it returns a negative number instead of the
correct read data. Therefore, we should avoid using the data if it
fails.

The fix checks if lm80_read_value() fails, and if so, returns with the
error number.
