The "val" variable is controlled by the user and comes from
hwmon_attr_store().  The FAN_RPM_TO_PERIOD() macro divides by "val"
so a zero will crash the system.  Check for that and return -EINVAL.

Fixes: fc958a61ff6d ("hwmon: (adt7470) Convert to devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info API")

Technically that restores old (pre-fc958a61ff6d) behavior, but it is still bad:
Userspace can provide a value of -1 (or any other negative number), and it will
translate to 5400000 RPM. So it should either be

	if (val <= 0)
		return -EINVAL;

or
	if (val <= 0)
		val = 1;

Thanks,
Guenter

There is a clamp() which does already turn invalid values into something
valid.

	val = FAN_RPM_TO_PERIOD(val);
	val = clamp_val(val, 1, 65534);

But I will make the <= 0 return -EINVAL change and resend.

Yes, but
	-1 -> -5400000 -> 1, which translates to 5400000 rpm.
This is in contrast to
	1 -> 5400000 -> 65534
which translates to a more reasonable 82 rpm.
