Subject: hwmon: (adt7470) Fix incorrect return code check

From: Curt Brune <curt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 93d783bcca69bfacc8dc739d8a050498402587b5 upstream.

In adt7470_write_word_data(), which writes two bytes using
i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(), the return codes are incorrectly AND-ed
together when they should be OR-ed together.

The return code of i2c_smbus_write_byte_data() is zero for success.

The upshot is only the first byte was ever written to the hardware.
The 2nd byte was never written out.

I noticed that trying to set the fan speed limits was not working
correctly on my system.  Setting the fan speed limits is the only
code that uses adt7470_write_word_data().  After making the change
the limit settings work and the alarms work also.
