[RESEND PATCH v2 04/13] backlight: qcom-wled: Fix off-by-one maximum with default num_strings

From: Marijn Suijten
Date: Thu Nov 11 2021 - 19:27:36 EST


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 parsing the
property separately much like qcom,enabled-strings.

This also allows more stringent checks on the maximum value when
qcom,enabled-strings is provided in the DT. Note that num-strings is
parsed after enabled-strings to give it final sign-off over the length,
which DT currently utilizes to get around an incorrect fixed read of
four elements from that array (has been addressed in a prior patch).

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