I think this is a typo in the TRM. I'll ping the docs people in ARM.

Looking @ the register descriptions for TRCSEQEVRn (7.3.63) in the
above document n=0-2.
The number of states is set by TRCIDR5.NUMSEQSTATE (7.3.35). This can
take the value 0 or 4.
If 4 then there are 3 TRCSEQEVR(n) registers - 0 to 2 - one for each
state transition.

Thus this patch is correct in using nrseqstate - 1.
