It's imp-def from the architecture's PoV, but the implementation in this 
case is Cortex-A72, where 0x000002 means an attributable, containable 
Slave Error:

https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100095/0003/system-control/aarch64-register-descriptions/exception-syndrome-register--el1-and-el3?lang=en

In other words, the thing at the other end of an interconnect 
transaction said "no" :)

(The fact that Cortex-A72 gets too far ahead of itself to take it as a 
synchronous external abort is a mild annoyance, but hey...)

When a peripheral decodes a region of address space, nobody says it has 
to accept accesses to *every* address in that space; registers may be 
sparsely populated, and although some devices might be "nice" and make 
unused areas behave as RAZ/WI, others may throw slave errors if you poke 
at the wrong places. As you note, in a TrustZone-aware device some 
registers may only exist in one or other of the Secure/Non-Secure 
address spaces.

Even when there is a defined register at a given address, it still 
doesn't necessarily accept all possible types of access; it wouldn't be 
particularly friendly, but a device *could* have, say, some registers 
that support 32-bit accesses and others that only support 16-bit 
accesses, and thus throw slave errors if you do the wrong thing in the 
wrong place.

It really all depends on the device itself.
