It's TEXCB=001, which due to the PRRR and NMRR registers is memory type
10, inner policy 00 outer policy 00, which translated means (as I said)
"Normal memory", "non-cacheable" at both the inner and outer levels.

How that gets translated to AXI attributes is outside the scope of the
ARM ARM, it's probably in some mega secret AXI document somewhere which
I don't have access to.
