[PATCH][V2] backlight: sky81452: insure while loop does not allow negative array indexing

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

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.
