[PATCH v2] backlight: pwm_bl: Fix uninitialized variable

From: Daniel Thompson
Date: Thu Jul 19 2018 - 12:19:47 EST


Currently, if the DT does not define num-interpolated-steps then
num_steps is undefined and the interpolation code will deploy randomly.
Fix this.

Additionally fix a small grammar error that was identified and
tighten up return code checking of DT properties, both of which came
up during review of this patch.

Fixes: 573fe6d1c25c ("backlight: pwm_bl: Linear interpolation between
brightness-levels")

Notes:
v2:
- Simplify SoB chain (with Marcel's permission)
- Separate complex if statement and make other similar calls use same
return code checking approach
- Tidy up comment formatting and fix pre-existing grammar error
