3288 (and probably anything newer) is irrelevant to this discussion, as
it has the arch timer interface - that may be busted in other ways (such
as not being correctly set up by firmware and not being always-on as it
should), but frequency is not one of them. This only affects
Cortex-A9/A5 based parts.

Presumably it's only an issue if they also have cpufreq?

I can tell you that one, for one, is never used, because it depends on
an input clock provided by the vexpress-osc driver which cannot be
probed sufficiently early.
