[PATCH] cpufreq: brcmstb-avs-cpufreq: Fix -Warray-bounds bug

Update the iteration conditions in the for() loop to avoid writing in
array `table` beyond its allocated size.

This fixes the following -Warray-bounds warning seen after building
ARM with multi_v7_defconfig (GCC 13):
In function 'brcm_avs_get_freq_table',
    inlined from 'brcm_avs_cpufreq_init' at drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:623:15:
drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:449:28: warning: array subscript 5 is outside array bounds of 'void[60]' [-Warray-bounds=]
  449 |         table[i].frequency = CPUFREQ_TABLE_END;
In file included from include/linux/node.h:18,
                 from include/linux/cpu.h:17,

                 from drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:44:

    inlined from 'brcm_avs_cpufreq_init' at drivers/cpufreq/brcmstb-avs-cpufreq.c:623:15:

  323 |         return devm_kmalloc(dev, bytes, flags);
      |                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This helps with the ongoing efforts to tighten the FORTIFY_SOURCE
routines on memcpy() and help us make progress towards globally
enabling -Warray-bounds.
