B1.40 Cache Level ID Register
The CLIDR characteristics are:
Purpose
Identifies:
• The type of cache, or caches, implemented at each level.
• The Level of Coherency and Level of Unification for the cache hierarchy.

Indicates the Level of Unification Uniprocessor for the cache hierarchy:
0b001 L1 cache is the last level of cache that must be cleaned or invalidated when cleaning or
invalidating to the point of unification for the processor.
LoC, [26:24]
Indicates the Level of Coherency for the cache hierarchy:
0b001 L2 cache not implemented.
0b010 A clean to the point of coherency operation requires the L1 and L2 caches to be
cleaned.
