[PATCH 4/7] aiodev: lm75: fix out-of-bounds write on 64-bit SoCs

Probing the lm75 device driver on 64 bit systems invokes
undefined behavior, because of an errant cast. Fix this.

This has a side-effect: Whereas before, probing devices matched by
driver name failed with -ENODEV, they are now considered to be
compatible to adt75 instead. As we don't depend on this, this
is deemed acceptable.
