I can see that, but that does not explain why you used those seemingly
arbitrary numbers or why you think that's correct.

No, you submitted the patch and you work for Qualcomm. You need to
figure out what the value should be. All I can say is that the gen1
value is likely not correct and therefore confusing.

Ok, then mention that in the commit message so that it becomes more
clear why this is needed and whether this should be considered a fix. As
it stands, the commit message makes this look like a new feature.

And the above Fixes tag is incorrect either way as that commit did not
introduce any issue.
