The CNTFRQ_EL0 characteristics are:
This register is provided so that software can discover the frequency of the system counter. It must be programmed with this value as part of system initialization. The value of the register is not interpreted by hardware.
AArch64 System register CNTFRQ_EL0 bits [31:0] are architecturally mapped to AArch32 System register CNTFRQ[31:0].
CNTFRQ_EL0 is a 64-bit register.
The CNTFRQ_EL0 bit assignments are:
63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 |
31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |

Clock frequency |
Reserved, RES0.
Clock frequency. Indicates the system counter clock frequency, in Hz.
On a Warm reset, this field resets to an architecturally UNKNOWN value.
Accesses to this register use the following encodings:
