Register based LDRD is harder than immediate version. ARM doesn't support [base + reg + offset] addressing mode, so address computation of the second memory reference is scattered both in and out of memory reference. To identify such opportunities, one needs to trace registers in address expression the memory access instruction and does some kind of value computation and re-association.
