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 allowing
one extra iteration of the wled_var_cfg function parsing this particular
property.

0 is not a valid value for this property.
These comments represent the possible loop iterations the DT "cfg
parser" runs through, starting at j=0 and running up until and including
j=3.  Should I make that more clear or omit these comments entirely?
