hwmon: (adt7470) Use cached PWM frequency value

This commit updates the driver to use a cached PWM frequency in the read
path instead of querying the hardware. It aims to prevent exposing negative
error codes through sysfs if the register read fails.

[Severity: Medium]
Is the correct index used for caching the frequency here?

Looking at pwm1_freq_set(), when setting a high frequency like 1400Hz or 
22500Hz, the initial index is resolved to 8 or 9. The code then modifies 
this by subtracting 8 (index -= 8) before updating the hardware registers.

By using this modified index to update data->pwm_freq, does the driver end
up caching 11Hz or 15Hz (indexes 0 and 1) instead of the requested high
frequency?
