Description
The only usage is in the `generator/C/include_v1.0/mavlink_helpers.h` is at line 378 and it is an initialization. The code actually counting the number of dropped packed is commented out (and not working). I can try to fix it and make PR but I am using this library for the first day, so I will need someone to check it after me. Should I give it a try?

Research direction
Start in pymavlink/generator/C/include_v1.0/mavlink_types.h and inspect the initialization in generator/C/include_v1.0/mavlink_helpers.h at line 378, along with the commented-out packet-drop counting code. Determine how the counter should be updated and verify that the reported drop count is no longer always zero.
