[PATCH] hwmon: (aspeed-pwm-tacho) Avoid possible buffer overflow

aspeed_create_fan() reads a pwm_port value using of_property_read_u32().
If pwm_port will be more than ARRAY_SIZE(pwm_port_params), there will be
a buffer overflow in
aspeed_create_pwm_port()->aspeed_set_pwm_port_enable(). The patch fixes
the potential buffer overflow.
