Debug Watchpoint Fault Address Register
Previously returned information about the address of the instruction that accessed a watchpointed address. Is now deprecated and RES0.
This register is present only when FEAT_AA32EL1 is implemented. Otherwise, direct accesses to DBGWFAR are UNDEFINED.
DBGWFAR is a 32-bit register.
