common.

Betreff: [PATCH][V2] backlight: sky81452: insure while loop does not allow negative array indexing
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In the unlikely event that num_entry is zero, the while loop
pre-decrements num_entry to cause negative array indexing into the
array sources. Fix this by iterating only if num_entry >= 0.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Out-of-bounds read")
Fixes: f705806c9f35 ("backlight: Add support Skyworks SKY81452 backlight driver")
