From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In the case that the read size is not 2 or 4 bytes then maxim_thermocouple_read is not initializing ret and hence may return early with a bogus error return or just through to return with a bogos unread value in *val. Fix this by setting ret to -EINVAL for invalid (unhandled) read sizes.
