From: Nikita Shubin <n.shubin@yadro.com>

As per ISA:

"For CSRRWI, if rd=x0, then the instruction shall not read the CSR and
shall not cause any of the side effects that might occur on a CSR read."

trans_csrrwi() and trans_csrrw() call do_csrw() if rd=x0, do_csrw() calls
riscv_csrrw_do64(), via helper_csrw() passing NULL as *ret_value.
