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.

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? - Marijn
