This is not related to the CPU.
On all the other SoCs but the A80 and the A83t, U-Boot will boot the system in HYP, and while switching to non-secure will setup CNTVOFF on the boot CPU.
On the A80 and A83t, U-Boot will execute the kernel in secure, it will not switch to non-secure, and CNTVOFF will not be set on the boot CPU.
