SES show too many CC for timers

Question

With SEGGER Embedded Studio 5.10d and nRF52840, the register view show TIMER0-2 with 6 CC registers but they only have 4. 
 It's quite confusing particularly when using the library because it doesn't assert when using those inexistent CC registers.

Hi 
 The SES debugger gets the peripheral definitions from the MDK files, more specifically nrf52840.h in the /modules/nrfx/mdk folder of the SDK. 
 Here all the timers are defined using the same NRF_TIMER_Type struct, which defines 6 CC registers, to avoid having to use different NRF_TIMER_Type structs for the different timers. 
 In other words it was decided to prioritize code readability and simplicity over getting a correct number of CC registers for all the timers. 
 Best regards Torbjørn
