SDEN (e.g., [1]) is ambiguous about how the write pointer acts for the
out-of-range erratum.

However, SDEN explicitly states for overwrite erratum: "The current
write pointer also increments by the same number of cache line
locations.

If this is still concerned, I can add check
trbe_may_write_out_of_range() in next spin.

Thanks,
Leo
