Is io.resp.data in rocket/icache.scala even used?

[jackkoenig]

From

class ICacheResp(implicit p: Parameters) extends CoreBundle()(p) with HasL1CacheParameters {
  val data = Bits(width = coreInstBits)
  val datablock = Bits(width = rowBits)
}

As far as I can tell, only datablock is used.

Is it not? I've never seen datablock before, but I use data in BOOM.

Hwacha uses datablock

@ccelio I think you are instantiating the frontend not the ICache itself so thats why you use data and not datablock. Hwacha has its own frontend and so instantiates the actual ICache to use its datablock.

Oh, good point.
