Subject: [PATCH] hwmon:(stts751) buffer overread on wrong chip configuration

If stts751 hw by some reason reports conversion rate bigger then 9:
	ret = i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(priv->client, STTS751_REG_RATE);
then dereference stts751_intervals[priv->interval] leads to buffer
overread.

The path adds sanity check for value read from chip.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
