Some erratas on ARM processor requires to decode the instruction.
The decoder will, obviously, decode and fill the ISS fields of the hsr_dabt.

For the moment, the decoder only supports:
    - THUMB2 store instruction
    - THUMB single load/store instruction

I think we can take it as a given that things will be added as and when
they are required, no need to mention it IMHO.

Please can we do the op1 decode with a switch. I know there is only one
case now but it will avoid the temptation to add a chain of elses.
`
op2 decoding is a pain. oh well.

Is this difficult to do? Perhaps you need to just decode op2 a bit
further?

Having done that it may turn out to be easier to decode op1 and op2
together as a single switch statement.

->sign is uninitialised for these two cases?

Actually, for many of them I think?

Needs an is_pv32_domain too.

It was for simplicity. I will add the support on the next patch series.

Sounds good. I will give a try.

I plan to zeroed the ISS field (ie sign, reg...) by default. See TODO in
decode_instruction. Do I still need to set sign to 0?

Well, you need to at least do one or the other!

Even if you are zeroing the iss be default I think it would be useful
from a documentation/clarity perspective to set it explicitly to zero.

There is only few functions which deal with signed-register. So if we
add a line "dabt->sign = 0" it's less clear. What about a helper?

update_dabt(struct hsr_dabt *dabt, uint16_t reg, uint8_t size,
            bool_t sign)
