Currently, if the DT does not define num-interpolated-steps then
num_steps is undefined and the interpolation code will deploy randomly.
Fix with a simple initialize to zero.

brightness-levels")

Notes:
v3:
- Switch to the simplest fix and zero the uninitialized variable. git
grep indicates that ~25% of calls to of_property_read_u32() use this
pattern (pre-initialize optional properties with sane values and
ignore the return code).
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
