Description

From ARM DDI 0403.d, p. C1-731:

To find the maximum size of the address comparison mask for comparator n, software must write
0b11111 to the DWT_MASKn.MASK field, and then read the DWT_MASKn register. The value
returned in the MASK field is the maximum mask size.

There also is no function available that queries this maximum mask size.

Research direction

Start by locating the DWT address-comparison configuration API and compare its behavior with the ARM DDI 0403.d, p. C1-731 requirement. The work is done when writing the mask verifies the value read back from DWT_MASKn and an API exposes the maximum mask size; no specific file or test is named in the issue.
