CVE-2026-74553: hwmon: (nct6775-core) Fix number of temperature registers for NCT6116

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (nct6775-core) Fix number of temperature registers for NCT6116

Unlike NCT6106, NCT6116 only has three temperature registers, and with
it only three temperature source and temperature source configuration
registers. The register addresses match those of NCT6106 and can be
re-used.

The code used a separate array to list the temperature source registers
for NCT6116, but used the size of the NCT6106 register array to set
the number of registers. The NCT6106 register array provides six addresses,
while the temperature source register array for NCT6116 only provides three
addresses. This causes a KASAN report.

BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in nct6775_probe+0x936/0x46f0 [nct6775]
Read of size 2 at addr ffffffffc19561a6 by task modprobe/954

 ? nct6775_probe+0x936/0x46f0 [nct6775]
...

Fix the problem by hard-coding the number of temperature and temperature
configuration registers to three for NCT6116. Drop the unnecessary
NCT6116_REG_TEMP_SOURCE array and re-use NCT6106_REG_TEMP_SOURCE.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74553 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
