Provides identification information for the PE, including an implementer code for the device and a device ID number.
External register MIDR_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch64 System register MIDR_EL1[31:0].
External register MIDR_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register MIDR[31:0].
The power domain of MIDR_EL1 is IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED.
MIDR_EL1 is a 32-bit register.
