While writing any sequence or session identifiers, it is possible that
the host could write a zero value, whereas only non-zero values should
be supported writes to those registers. Ensure that the host does not
write a non-zero value for them and also log them in debug messages.

I don't think this math works. For example, if MHI_RANDOM_U32_NONZERO
is 0x0FF0, and BHIE_RXVECSTATUS_SEQNUM_BMSK is 0xF, then sequence_id
will end up being 0.

In this case, SEQNUM BMSK is set to 0x3FFFFFFF so this change will still work as
we only supplied a non-zero number macro to AND with the mask.
However, I agree that may not be the case always that we would know the bitmask
in advance so it is better to fix it for good.

Thanks for the catch! I have updated the change to have the macro take the
bitmask as a parameter and output a non-zero value.
