leds: tca6507: Fix error handling of using fwnode_property_read_string



[ Upstream commit c1087c29 ]

Commit 96f52410 ("leds: tca6507: use fwnode API instead of OF")

changed to fwnode API but did not take into account that a missing property
"linux,default-trigger" now seems to return an error and as a side effect
sets value to -1. This seems to be different from of_get_property() which
always returned NULL in any case of error.

Neglecting this side-effect leads to

[   11.201965] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffff when read

in the strcmp() of led_trigger_set_default() if there is no led-trigger
defined in the DTS.

I don't know if this was recently introduced somewhere in the fwnode lib
or if the effect was missed in initial testing. Anyways it seems to be a
bug to ignore the error return value of an optional value here in the
driver.
