The "num_outputs" variable needs to be signed for the error checking for
of_property_count_u32_elems() to work correctly.  If the property is not
present then we're supposed to continue, but in the current code we will
try to allocate negative bytes, which will fail and it returns -ENOMEM.

This issue is fixed since next-20240812 with the similar commit
adef9a535479 ("pwm: lp3943: Fix an incorrect type in
lp3943_pwm_parse_dt()"). (Up to next-20240830 the commit id was
861a4272660a, I rewrote that commit because I got the Fixes line wrong.)

For this reason I marked this patch as "Not Applicable" in patchwork.

Best regards
