I download the version F.c, and the chapter looks cleaner than
the one in K.a. I guess the FEAT_MTE_PERM complicates that...

I double checked the K.a doc, and found a piece of pseudocode
that seems to confirm 0b0110 (0x6) is the correct value:

MemoryAttributes AArch64.S2ApplyFWBMemAttrs(MemoryAttributes s1_memattrs,
					    S2TTWParams walkparams,
					    bits(N) descriptor)
	MemoryAttributes memattrs;
	s2_attr = descriptor<5:2>;
	s2_sh = if walkparams.ds == '1' then walkparams.sh else descriptor<9:8>;
	s2_fnxs = descriptor<11>;
	if s2_attr<2> == '0' then // S2 Device, S1 any
		s2_device = DecodeDevice(s2_attr<1:0>);
		memattrs.memtype = MemType_Device;
		if s1_memattrs.memtype == MemType_Device then
			memattrs.device = S2CombineS1Device(s1_memattrs.device, s2_device);
		else
			memattrs.device = s2_device;
		memattrs.xs = s1_memattrs.xs;
	elsif s2_attr<1:0> == '11' then // S2 attr = S1 attr
		memattrs = s1_memattrs;
	elsif s2_attr<1:0> == '10' then // Force writeback
