hwmon: (pmbus) Fix type confusion in notification logic
Sashiko reports:
At the start of the loop in pmbus_notify(), the code unconditionally casts every attribute to a struct sensor_device_attribute:
drivers/hwmon/pmbus/pmbus_core. c:pmbus_notify() { for (i = 0; i num_attributes; i++) { struct device_attribute *da = to_dev_attr(data-group. attrs[i]); struct sensor_device_attribute *attr = to_sensor_dev_attr(da); int index = attr-index; ... }
