Josh Law cc7d44c59e lib/bootconfig: fix off-by-one in xbc_verify_tree() unclosed brace error
commit 39ebc8d7f5 upstream.

__xbc_open_brace() pushes entries with post-increment
(open_brace[brace_index++]), so brace_index always points one past
the last valid entry.  xbc_verify_tree() reads open_brace[brace_index]
to report which brace is unclosed, but this is one past the last
pushed entry and contains stale/zero data, causing the error message
to reference the wrong node.

Use open_brace[brace_index - 1] to correctly identify the unclosed
brace.  brace_index is known to be > 0 here since we are inside the
if (brace_index) guard.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
