Subject: [PATCH 3.14 15/66] hwmon: (emc2103) Clamp limits instead of bailing out

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net>

commit f6c2dd20108c35e30e2c1f3c6142d189451a626b upstream.

It is customary to clamp limits instead of bailing out with an error
if a configured limit is out of the range supported by the driver.
This simplifies limit configuration, since the user will not typically
know chip and/or driver specific limits.
