[PATCH v2] hwmon: (ad7314) Validate leading zero bits and return error

From: Erik Schumacher
Date: Mon Feb 24 2025 - 04:23:44 EST


Leading zero bits are sent on the bus before the temperature value is
transmitted. If any of these bits are high, the connection might be
unstable or there could be no AD7314 / ADT730x (or compatible) at all.
Return -EIO in that case.

Changes v1 -> v2:
- return EIO instead of ENXIO
- check leading zeros for ADT7301/2 as well
