There is no specific reason/rationale. Left side bit keeps incrementing
for every four bits and right side bit keeps incrementing every time except
during left bit increment.
As I mentioned earlier, I can change this to your logic or we can have something like:
0x0001, 0x0002, 0x0004, 0x0008, 0x0010 ...
