Subject: [PATCH v4 10/10] ARM: sunxi: smp: Add initialization of CNTVOFF

On Cortex-A7, the CNTVOFF register from arch timer is uninitialized.
It should be done by the bootloader but it is currently not the case,
even for boot CPU because this SoC is booting in secure mode.
It leads to an random offset value meaning that each CPU will have a
different time, which isn't working very well.

Add assembly code used for boot CPU and secondary CPU cores to make
sure that the CNTVOFF register is initialized.
