Subject: [PATCH][next] hwmon: axi-fan-control: fix uninitialized dereference of pointer res

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently the resource pointer ret is uninitialized and it is
being dereferenced when printing out a debug message. Fix this
by fetching the resource and assigning pointer res.  It is
a moot point that we sanity check for a null res since a successful
call to devm_platform_ioremap_resource has already occurred so
in theory it should never be non-null.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Uninitialized pointer read")
Fixes: 690dd9ce04f6 ("hwmon: Support ADI Fan Control IP")
