The sequence number is constrained to a range of [0, 4095], which
is a total of 4096 values. The bitmask operation using `& 0xfff` is
used to perform this wrap-around. While this is functionally correct,
it obscures the intended semantic of a 4096-based wrap.
Using a modulo operation `% 4096u` makes the wrap-around logic
explicit and easier to understand. It clearly signals that the
sequence number cycles through a range of 4096 values.
It also makes the code robust against potential changes of the 4096
upper limit, especially when it becomes a non power-of-2 value while
the AND(&) works solely for power-of-2 values.
The use of `% 4096u` also guarantees that the modulo operation is
performed with unsigned arithmetic, preventing potential issues with
the signed types.
