Lists of struct property_entry are supposed to be terminated with an
empty property, this driver currently seems to be allocating exactly the
amount of entry used.

Change the struct definition to leave an extra element for all
property_entry.

Hi, bumped into this while studying the code, looks like the struct has
been allocated without space for terminators, guess the top ones just
end up using the bottom props as well but I'm surprised this does not
crash at some point. Build test only, don't have any hardware for this,
let me know if I'm missing something here.

Cheers,
Fabio
