Contribution description

The channels member should not be set to the number of hardware channels n, but to n - 1 instead. The last channel is implicitly used in timer_read(). Hence out of n hardware channels, only n - 1 are available to the application.

This fixes a bug introduced by 4d02e15 which incorrectly set the channel number to n rather than to n - 1.

Testing procedure

timer_read() should work again on nRF52 MCUs.

Issues/PRs references

Introduced in #18811

The `channels` member should not be set to the number of hardware
channels *n*, but to *n* - 1 instead. The last channel is implicitly
used in `timer_read()`. Hence out of *n* hardware channels, only *n* - 1
are available to the application.

This fixes a bug introduced by 4d02e15
which incorrectly set the channel number to *n* rather than to
*n* - 1.
