si2165_readreg8() may fail. Looking into si2165_readreg8(), we will find that "val_tmp" will be an uninitialized value when regmap_read() fails. "val_tmp" is then assigned to "val". So if si2165_readreg8() fails, "val" will be a random value. Further use will lead to undefined behaviors. The fix checks if si2165_readreg8() fails, and if so, returns its error code upstream.
