the original encoding came from a chinese document from one of the
t-head repos which only containted the original instruction as
"dcache.cva" [0] ... so I guess some part was lost in translation :-)


It's really great to see that the documentation improved a lot with
that new repo with instruction encodings you mention in patch2.

Using that new repo you mention, the change looks correct
0x4 -> 0x5 for the instruction selection, so

Though I'm on xmas vaction right now so can't test it on a board.
