hwmon: (lenovo-ec-sensors): Fix EC "MCHP" signature validation logic
The EC signature check uses && instead of || between the four byte comparisons. With &&, the condition is true only when ALL four bytes fail to match simultaneously, meaning the driver accepts a device as a valid Microchip EC if ANY single byte of the 4-byte "MCHP" signature happens to match. Due to short-circuit evaluation, if the first byte reads back as 'M' (0x4D, a very common register value), the remaining three comparisons are skipped entirely and the device is accepted. Change && to || so the check rejects devices that do not fully match the expected EC signature, as originally intended.
