[linux,dev-6.12,v1 7/9] hwmon: (ina238) Correctly clamp temperature

From: Chris Packham <chris.packham at alliedtelesis.co.nz>

ina238_write_temp() was attempting to clamp the user input but was
throwing away the result. Ensure that we clamp the value to the
appropriate range before it is converted into a register value.

Fixes: 0d9f596b1fe3 ("hwmon: (ina238) Modify the calculation formula to adapt to different chips")
