I don't think anyone tried.

My only experience with QC hardware (Snapdragon 410) is that the (non
replaceable) firmware drops you at EL1-NS, annihilating any chance of
running KVM (or any other hypervisor) on this HW.

I wish Snapdragon 810 was different, but I haven't seen any sign of
that so far.
