This is really silly.
The code in question is trying to convert a size (HINIC_RX_BUF_SZ)
into a table index, using a loop.
It should just compute this at compile time and do away with this
overly confusing code.
Even a switch statement would be much better and the compiler
would optimize the whole away into a single assignment in
the generated code.
