Subject: [PATCH] power: supply: max17040: propagate register read errors

max17040_get_vcell() and max17040_get_soc() ignore errors returned by
regmap_read().  When an I2C transfer fails, the uninitialized register
value is converted and reported to userspace as a valid voltage or state
of charge.  The polling worker can also replace the cached state of charge
with the bogus value and emit a spurious change event.

Propagate read errors through the power supply get_property callback and
keep the last valid cached state of charge when polling fails.

[PATCH 5.15.y 1/2] power: supply: max17040: Check iio_read_channel_processed() return code

[Sasha Levin]

From: Ivan Abramov <i.abramov@mt-integration.ru>

[ Upstream commit 2c68ac48c52ad146523f32b01d70009622bf81aa ]

Since iio_read_channel_processed() may fail, return its exit code on error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

[Stable dependency adaptation]
Linux 6.6 does not contain the optional IIO temperature support introduced
by 814755c48f8b, so omit the temperature-read error-checking hunk and the
unavailable status/temperature context.

Retain the local ret declaration: target 659cc3d8d5ef uses it to propagate
voltage and capacity read errors without adding a declaration of its own.
Use ret for the existing -EINVAL default case so this dependency builds
without an unused-variable warning before the target is applied. Keep the
successful return as zero; the target stores positive readings in ret.

This is a prerequisite-only adaptation with unchanged driver behavior and
no added functions.
