Subject: hwmon: (nct7802) Fix integer overflow seen when writing voltage limits

From: Guenter Roeck <[email protected]>

commit 9200bc4c28cd8992eb5379345abd6b4f0c93df16 upstream.

Writing a large value into a voltage limit attribute can result in an overflow due to an auto-conversion from unsigned long to unsigned int.
