hwmon: (ftsteutates) Fix potential memory access error
Using set_bit() to set a bit in an integer is not a good idea, since
the function expects an unsigned long as argument, which can be 64 bit
wide. Coverity reports this problem as
>>> CID 1364488: Memory - illegal accesses (INCOMPATIBLE_CAST)
>>> Pointer "&ret" points to an object whose effective type is "int"
>>> (32 bits, signed) but is dereferenced as a wider "unsigned
+long" (64 bits, unsigned). This may lead to memory corruption.
245 set_bit(1, (unsigned long *)&ret);
Just use BIT instead.
