staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: fix AO timer off-by-one regression
commit 15d51931 upstream. As reported by Éric Piel on the Comedi mailing list (see <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comedi_list/ueZiR7vTLOU/discussion>), the analog output asynchronous commands are running too fast with a period 50 ns shorter than it should be. This affects all boards with AO command support that are supported by the "ni_pcimio", "ni_atmio", and "ni_mio_cs" drivers. This is a regression bug introduced by commit 080e6795 ("staging: comedi: ni_mio_common: Cleans up/clarifies ni_ao_cmd"), specifically, this line in `ni_ao_cmd_set_update()`: /* following line: N-1 per STC */ ni_stc_writel(dev, trigvar - 1, NISTC_AO_UI_LOADA_REG); The `trigvar` variable value comes from a call to `ni_ns_to_timer()` which converts a timer period in nanoseconds to a hardware divisor value. The function already reduces the divisor by 1 as required by the hardware, so the above line should not reduce it further by 1. Fix it by replacing `trigvar` by `trigvar - 1` in the above line, and remove the misleading comment.
