Cortex A53 and A55 (in-order designs) are not vulnerable to any variant. ARM Ltd. provide details for all of their designs (it's a bit like Swiss cheese, each core is vulnerable to different variants). Thus low/mid-tiers and half of cores in big.LITTLE configuration are safe. The worst is latest gen, Cortex A75, which is vulnerable to all of variants (incl. Meltdown).

It's all in ARM Ltd. report and whitepaper.
