Fix Smatch-detected issue:
drivers/hwmon/max31827.c:564 max31827_init_client() error:
uninitialized symbol 'lsb_idx'.

​In the max31827_init_client() function, the variable lsb_idx is assigned
a value only when data has exactly one bit set (hweight32(data) == 1).
If this condition isn't met, lsb_idx remains uninitialized, leading to
undefined behavior when it's subsequently used.

Ensure that data is non-zero and has exactly one bit set before
calling __ffs(data) to determine lsb_idx. Additionally, verify that
lsb_idx does not exceed 4. This approach prevents the use of an
uninitialized lsb_idx and resolves the Smatch warning.
