	int start = 0;

	if (!is_mt7915(&dev->mt76)) {
		start = 5;
		ofs = 0;
	}

	for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
		req[i].band = cpu_to_le32(phy->band_idx);
		req[i].offs = cpu_to_le32(offs[i + start]);

		if (!is_mt7915(&dev->mt76) && i == 3) //
			break;
	}

For 'is_mt7915' case, start:0 and i: 0 1 2 3 4, whereas !is_mt7915'
case, start:5 and i: 0 1 2 3 (then break).

I know it's a bit tricky. This is used to differentiate chipset
revision.
