    The forums (and the Cortex-A8 docs) are correct, this register is not present.
    The ARM architecture includes a number of optional features. A given implementation (I.e. processor) chooses which of the optional features to implement. The CNTFRQ register is part of the optional Generic Timer spec.  As far as I know, only the CA15 and CA7 implement this.
