Subject: [PATCH 05/10] backlight: qcom-wled: Fix off-by-one maximum with default num_strings

When not specifying num-strings in the DT the default is used, but +1 is
added to it which turns wled3 into 4 and wled4/5 into 5 strings instead
of 3 and 4 respectively, causing out of bounds reads and register
read/writes.  This +1 exists for a deficiency in the DT parsing code,
and is simply omitted entirely - solving this oob issue - by allowing
one extra iteration of the wled_var_cfg function parsing this particular
property.

Fixes: 93c64f1ea1e8 ("leds: add Qualcomm PM8941 WLED driver")
