>OTX2 AP core can sometimes fissure STP instructions when it is more
>optimal to send such writes into the pipeline as 2 separate
>instructions. However registers should be excluded from such
>optimization. This commit ensures that no CSR write is ever fissured
>by introducing zero cost workaround by setting STP pre-index by zero to
>make sure OTX2 AP core prevent fissure.
