hwmon: (ads7871) Propagate SPI errors in voltage_show
The voltage_show() function previously ignored negative error codes returned by the underlying SPI read/write functions. Because negative numbers have their most significant bits set in two's complement, a failed SPI read returning -EIO (-5) would incorrectly evaluate to true when masked with MUX_CNV_BM (0x80). This would cause the driver to enter the polling loop even when the SPI bus failed, eventually returning a misleading -ETIMEDOUT error to userspace instead of the actual hardware error. Furthermore, the return values of the initial SPI write and the final 16-bit SPI read were completely ignored. Add proper error checking after every SPI operation to ensure hardware failures are immediately propagated back to userspace.
