Dan Carpenter beat you too it, see his patch in my tree:

commit 7352baadcc2ad2ed214e52bd8b50ac6eb01968cd
Author: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

    ixgbe: Fix && vs || typo
    
    "offset" can't be both 0x0 and 0xFFFF so presumably || was intended
    instead of &&.  That matches with how this check is done in other
    functions.
