The MIDR_EL1 characteristics are:
Provides identification information for the PE, including an implementer code for the device and a device ID number.
AArch64 System register MIDR_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register MIDR[31:0] .
AArch64 System register MIDR_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to External register MIDR_EL1[31:0] .
MIDR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.
The MIDR_EL1 bit assignments are:
63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 |

Architectural features are individually identified in the ID_* registers, see 'ID registers'. |
All other values are reserved.
An IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED primary part number for the device.
On processors implemented by Arm, if the top four bits of the primary part number are 0x0 or 0x7, the variant and architecture are encoded differently.
An IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED revision number for the device.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
op0 | op1 | CRn | CRm | op2 |
