The AXI protocol specifies that, when a locked transaction
occurs, the master must follow the locked transaction with an unlocked
transaction to remove the lock of the interconnect. For ARM1156T2F-S processors,
this implies that, in the case of an abort received on the read
part of a SWP instruction, the Peripheral port or Data
port issues a dummy write access with all byte strobes LOW at the
same address as the read access and with AWLOCK =
00, normal transaction.
