w83627hf_update_device() reads PWM registers in a loop bounded by a
hard coded "i <= 2", i.e. three iterations, for every chip type. For
the W83627HF, W836X7HF_REG_PWM() indexes regpwm_627hf[], which only has
two entries. The third iteration therefore reads regpwm_627hf[2], one
element past the end of the array, and issues a read of a non existent
PWM register.
The W83627HF has only two PWM outputs (datasheet registers CR5A and
CR5B, corresponding to W83627HF_REG_PWM1/PWM2) it has no third PWM
register, and the driver correctly does not expose pwm3 for this chip.
The function already computes num_pwms for this purpose, but the
loop did not use it, and num_pwms itself did not account for the
W83627HF having two PWMs.
Include the W83627HF in the two PWM case and bound the loop by num_pwms
so each chip only reads the PWM registers it actually has.
Found by smatch. Compile tested only, I do not have the hardware.
