Hi Colin,

Thanks for your report.

After my quick look, there are at least two obvious problems.
One is array size of ofdm_index[] should be two instead. Another is the value
of ofdm_index[] should be obtained from rtlpriv->dm.ofdm_index[]. 
Since the logic is quite complex, I need some time to fix it.
