NIST CWE-476

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (nct6775) Fix crash in clear_caseopen

Pawe? Marciniak reports the following crash, observed when clearing
the chassis intrusion alarm.

The problem is that the device passed to clear_caseopen() is the hwmon
device, not the platform device, and the platform data is not set in the
hwmon device. Store the pointer to sio_data in struct nct6775_data and
get if from there if needed.
