This function still produces a bad result if the call to
da9052_reg_read() fails and the call to da9052_disable_vddout_channel()
doesn't. 

I would suggest to replace pr_err() with "goto hwmon_err". If you do
that, you don't need to initialize vdd, you don't need the else case for
its assignment, and you don't need "if (vdd >= 0)" either.
