6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 4720f9707c783f642332dee3d56dccaefa850e42 ]
Strings from the kernel are guaranteed to be null terminated and ynl_attr_validate() checks for this. But it doesn't check if the string has a len of 0, which would cause problems when trying to access data[len - 1]. Fix this by checking that len is positive.
