[PATCH 6.18 166/309] hwmon: (adm1177) fix sysfs ABI violation and current unit conversion

From: Sanman Pradhan <psanman@juniper.net>

[ Upstream commit bf08749a6abb6d1959bfdc0edc32c640df407558 ]

The adm1177 driver exposes the current alert threshold through
hwmon_curr_max_alarm. This violates the hwmon sysfs ABI, where
*_alarm attributes are read-only status flags and writable thresholds
must use currN_max.

The driver also stores the threshold internally in microamps, while
currN_max is defined in milliamps. Convert the threshold accordingly
on both the read and write paths.

Widen the cached threshold and related calculations to 64 bits so
that small shunt resistor values do not cause truncation or overflow.
Also use 64-bit arithmetic for the mA/uA conversions, clamp writes
to the range the hardware can represent, and propagate failures from
adm1177_write_alert_thr() instead of silently ignoring them.

Update the hwmon documentation to reflect the attribute rename and
the correct units returned by the driver.
