L2CTLR is writable. However, all writes to this register are ignored.
Configurations
L2CTLR is mapped to the AArch64 L2CTLR_EL1 register. See B2.74 L2 Control Register, EL1
on page B2-489.
There is one L2CTLR for the Cortex‑A35 processor.
There is one copy of this register that is used in both Secure and Non-secure states.
