Subject: serial: sh-sci: Uninitialized variables in sysfs files

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com>

commit 4ab3c51e0540ba8464fe34d84cc35821bb77ae92 upstream.

The kstrtol() function returns -ERANGE as well as -EINVAL so these tests
are not enough.  It's not a super serious bug, but my static checker
correctly complains that the "r" variable might be used uninitialized.
