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 parsing the
property separately much like qcom,enabled-strings.
This also enables more stringent checks on the maximum value when
qcom,enabled-strings is provided in the DT, by parsing num-strings after
enabled-strings to allow it to check against (and in a subsequent patch
override) the length of enabled-strings: it is invalid to set
num-strings higher than that.
The DT currently utilizes it to get around an incorrect fixed read of
four elements from that array (has been addressed in a prior patch) by
setting a lower num-strings where desired.
