Per the ARMv8 Reference Manual (ARM DDI 0487E.a), section D11.2.4

register, it should be signed extended as described by the equation
CompareValue = (Counter[63:0] + SignExtend(TimerValue))[63:0]
This explains the signed part, but it does not explain why the 32-bit
case. So I would mention that TimerValue is a 32-bit signed integer.
Maybe saying "are 32-bit signed in standard ..."
