When the instruction shift is enabled, data shifts between the two parts of
the BIST engine are on bit 3. In run test mode, this bit is used as invert
data information. The

MBISTTX[11:0]

interface is ARM-specific and

intended for use only with the MBIST controller.

MBISTRX[5:0]

This signal is an output of the dispatch unit that goes to the MBIST
controller. The behavior of

MBISTRX[5:0]

is ARM-specific and is

intended for use only with the MBIST controller. The address expire
signal is set when both the row and column address counters expire.
Table 2-7 shows the signals.
