According to
The RISC-V Instruction Set Manual Volume I: Unprivileged ISA Document Version 20191213 Table 9.1,
there are some conditional with rd = 0 that inhibit read on CSRs.
Though original implementation is correct in most cases, this always-read implementation may cause some effects. For example, some CSRs that read-write to it may change the architectural state.
