There's a subtle issue here:  A value of "0" is "reserved" per PCIe r4.0,
sec 7.8.10.  Denis filtered that out, with your change it's an accepted
value.  I don't think the function ever gets called with a value of "0",
so it's not a big deal.  And maybe we don't even want to filter that
value out.  Just noting anyway.

Thanks,

Lukas
