Hi Heikki,

Thanks a lot for reviewing the patch!

The Chrome EC returns all the Identity VDOs as an array of 6 VDOs (the
discovery_vdo[] array). The first three entries are assigned to the
pd_identity.{id_header,cert_stat,product} members.

This for loop assigns the next three discovery_vdo entries (i.e indices
3-5) to pd_identity.vdo[0-2] respectively.

The "i-3" is because discovery_vdo[3] corresponds to pd_identity.vdo[0]
and so on.

Does that help to clarify the for loop?

Best regards,

Prashant
