Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (occ) Fix poll rate limiting

The poll rate limiter time was initialized at zero. This breaks the
comparison in time_after if jiffies is large. Switch to storing the
next update time rather than the previous time, and initialize the
time when the device is probed.

Fixes: c10e753d43eb ("hwmon (occ): Add sensor types and versions")
