Unsigned maximum with immediate (unpredicated)
This instruction determines the unsigned maximum of an immediate and each element of the source vector, and destructively places the results in the corresponding elements of the source vector. The immediate is an unsigned 8-bit value in the range 0 to 255, inclusive. This instruction is unpredicated.

This instruction is a data-independent-time instruction as described in About PSTATE.DIT.
This instruction might be immediately preceded in program order by a MOVPRFX instruction. The MOVPRFX must conform to all of the following requirements, otherwise the behavior of the MOVPRFX and this instruction is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE:
