[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v10 03/17] pwm: lpss: Fix off by one error in base_unit math in pwm_lpss_prepare()

According to the data-sheet the way the PWM controller works is that
each input clock-cycle the base_unit gets added to a N bit counter and
that counter overflowing determines the PWM output frequency.

So assuming e.g. a 16 bit counter this means that if base_unit is set to 1,
after 65535 input clock-cycles the counter has been increased from 0 to
65535 and it will overflow on the next cycle, so it will overflow after
every 65536 clock cycles and thus the calculations done in
pwm_lpss_prepare() should use 65536 and not 65535.

This commit fixes this. Note this also aligns the calculations in
pwm_lpss_prepare() with those in pwm_lpss_get_state().

Note this effectively reverts commit 684309e5043e ("pwm: lpss: Avoid
potential overflow of base_unit"). The next patch in this series really
fixes the potential overflow of the base_unit value.
