hwmon: (tps53679) Fix device ID comparison and printing in tps53676_identify()

Browse Source 
tps53676_identify() uses strncmp() to compare the device ID buffer
against a byte sequence containing embedded non-printable bytes
(\x53\x67\x60). strncmp() is semantically wrong for binary data
comparison; use memcmp() instead.

Additionally, the buffer from i2c_smbus_read_block_data() is not
NUL-terminated, so printing it with "%s" in the error path is
undefined behavior and may read past the buffer. Use "%*ph" to
hex-dump the actual bytes returned.

Per the datasheet, the expected device ID is the 6-byte sequence
54 49 53 67 60 00 ("TI\x53\x67\x60\x00"), so compare all 6 bytes
including the trailing NUL.
