The ida_alloc_range() function expects an inclusive range, meaning both
the start and end values are valid allocation targets. Passing nr_ports
as the upper bound allows allocation of an ID equal to nr_ports, which
is out of bounds when used as an index into the port array.
Fix this by subtracting 1 from nr_ports in both calls to ida_alloc_range(),
ensuring the allocated ID stays within the valid range
[start, nr_ports - 1].
This prevents potential out-of-bounds access when the allocated ID is used
as an index.
