I have descripted is in the code, such as following.

	/* ADC Bias Calibration:
	 * read efuse offset 0x7d to get a 17-bit data. Remove the dummy/fake
	 * bit (bit3) to rebuild the real 16-bit data. Write the data to the
	 * ADC ioffset.
	 */

The real data (16-bit) would be inserted a dummy bit,
and store the 17-bit to efuse offset 0x7d. Therefore, when
reading the 17-bit data from efuse, we have to remove the
dummy to get the real data.
