Sanman Pradhan c6f45ed26b hwmon: (pmbus/mp2869) Check pmbus_read_byte_data() before using its return value
In mp2869_read_byte_data() and mp2869_read_word_data(), the return value
of pmbus_read_byte_data() for PMBUS_STATUS_MFR_SPECIFIC is used directly
inside FIELD_GET() macro arguments without error checking. If the I2C
transaction fails, a negative error code is passed to FIELD_GET() and
FIELD_PREP(), silently corrupting the status register bits being
constructed.

Extract the nested pmbus_read_byte_data() calls into a separate variable
and check for errors before use. This also eliminates a redundant duplicate
read of the same register in the PMBUS_STATUS_TEMPERATURE case.

Fixes: a3a2923aaf ("hwmon: add MP2869,MP29608,MP29612 and MP29816 series driver")
