Bit 22 in some LD/ST instructions (Cortex-A7)

Juha Aaltonen

I wonder if the bit 22 has some function in instructions like LDRH, STRH, LDRSBT, LDRD, ... (bits 27, 26, 25 = 0, 0, 0)?

                           22
c c c c 0 0 0  0  U 1  1  0 n n n n t t t t x x x x 1 0 1 1 x x x x STRHT<c> <Rt>,[<Rn>],{,#+/-<imm8>}  A1  A8.8.219
c c c c 0 0 0  0  U 1  1  1 n n n n t t t t x x x x 1 0 1 1 x x x x LDRHT<c> <Rt>,[<Rn>],{,#+/-<imm8>}  A1  A8.8.83

In some instructions, like LDR, STR, LDRB (bits 27, 26, 25 = 0, 1, 1) , I understand, it chooses between byte and word access.
