Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: Fix unsigned 'reg' compared with zero in amc6821_update_device

From: Kaixu Xia <kaixuxia@...cent.com>

The unsigned variable reg is assigned a return value from the call
to i2c_smbus_read_byte_data(), which may return negative error code.

Fixes coccicheck warning:

./drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c:215:6-9: WARNING: Unsigned expression compared with zero: reg > 0
./drivers/hwmon/amc6821.c:228:6-9: WARNING: Unsigned expression compared with zero: reg > 0
