hwmon: (adt7470) Fix cache updated before hardware write on I2C error

This commit ensures the driver's cached values are only updated after a
successful regmap_write. By checking the return value, the cache accurately
reflects the actual hardware state even if an I2C transaction fails.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this modulo logic for the PWM enable 
mask swap the bitmasks for channels 2 and 3 (PWM3 and PWM4)?

Earlier in adt7470_pwm_write(), the mask is assigned using modulo arithmetic:

    case hwmon_pwm_enable:
        if (channel % 2)
            pwm_auto_reg_mask = ADT7470_PWM2_AUTO_MASK;
        else
            pwm_auto_reg_mask = ADT7470_PWM1_AUTO_MASK;

This assigns the mask for PWM4 (0x80) to channel 2 (PWM3) and the mask for 
PWM3 (0x40) to channel 3 (PWM4) during sysfs write. As a result, operations 
intended for PWM3 modify the hardware state of PWM4, and vice versa.

The same pattern is used during the periodic sensor state update in 
adt7470_update_sensors():

    if (i % 2)
        mask = ADT7470_PWM2_AUTO_MASK;
    else
        mask = ADT7470_PWM1_AUTO_MASK;

Could this cause fans to fail to enter the commanded automatic or manual mode, 
potentially leading to improper cooling?
