The CCSIDR_EL1 characteristics are:
Provides information about the architecture of the currently selected cache.
AArch64 System register CCSIDR_EL1 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CCSIDR[31:0].
AArch64 System register CCSIDR_EL1 bits [63:32] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CCSIDR2[31:0].
The implementation includes one CCSIDR_EL1 for each cache that it can access. CSSELR_EL1 selects which Cache Size ID Register is accessible.
CCSIDR_EL1 is a 64-bit register.

RES0 | Associativity | LineSize |
The parameters NumSets, Associativity, and LineSize in these registers define the architecturally visible parameters that are required for the cache maintenance by Set/Way instructions. They are not guaranteed to represent the actual microarchitectural features of a design. You cannot make any inference about the actual sizes of caches based on these parameters.
Reserved, RES0.
(Number of sets in cache) - 1, therefore a value of 0 indicates 1 set in the cache. The number of sets does not have to be a power of 2.
Reserved, RES0.
(Associativity of cache) - 1, therefore a value of 0 indicates an associativity of 1. The associativity does not have to be a power of 2.
(Log2(Number of bytes in cache line)) - 4. For example:
The C++ 17 specification has two defined parameters relating to the granularity of memory that does not interfere. For generic software and tools, Arm will set the hardware_destructive_interference_size parameter to 256 bytes and the hardware_constructive_interference_size parameter to 64 bytes.
When FEAT_MTE2 is implemented, where a cache only holds Allocation tags, this field is RES0.

If CSSELR_EL1.{TnD, Level, InD} is programmed to a cache level that is not implemented, then on a read of the CCSIDR_EL1 the behavior is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE, and can be one of the following:
Accesses to this register use the following encodings in the System register encoding space:
