Hi Colton,

There's no reason Enums shouldn't be equivalent to UnsignedEnums and
explicitly specify they are unsigned. This will avoid the annoyance I
had with HPMN0.
An Enum can be annotated with the field's sign by updating it to
UnsignedEnum or SignedEnum. This is explained in [1].
With this change ID_AA64PFR1_EL1.MTE_frac would be marked as unsigned
when it should really be considered signed.
Enum 43:40 MTE_frac
0b0000 ASYNC
0b1111 NI
EndEnum
Thanks for the explanation. I made this a separate commit because I
considered people might object and HPMN0 is already an UnsignedEnum in
my previous commit.
Do you think it would be a good idea to make plain Enums signed by
default or should I just remove this commit from the series?
