the chassis intrusion alarm.

The problem is that the device passed to clear_caseopen() is the hwmon
device, not the platform device, and the platform data is not set in the
hwmon device. Store the pointer to sio_data in struct nct6775_data and
get if from there if needed.
Fixes: 2e7b9886968b ("hwmon: (nct6775) Use superio_*() function pointers in sio_data.")
