Subject: [PATCH 2/2] hwmon: tmp401: bail-out from tmp401_probe() in case of write errors

The return value of i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() is checked in
tmp401_init_client(), but only a warning is printed and the device is
registered anyway. This leads to devices being registered even if they
cannot be physically detected.

Bail-out from probe in case of write errors and notify the user.
