mp2973_read_word_data() XORs the return value of pmbus_read_word_data()
with PB_STATUS_POWER_GOOD_N without first checking for errors. If the I2C
transaction fails, a negative error code is XORed with the constant,
producing a corrupted value that is returned as valid status data instead
of propagating the error.
Add the missing error check before modifying the return value.
