  32-bit inputs, it's apparently 2 cycles, not 1.
  
It seems to be 2 cycles indeed:

	.text
	.globl	main
	.type	main, #function
main:
	mov	r0, #1006632960
1:	subs	r0, r0, #1
	vmull.u32	q2, d0, d0
	vmull.u32	q4, d0, d0
	vmull.u32	q6, d0, d0
	vmull.u32	q8, d0, d0
	bne	1b
	mov	pc, lr

But IIUC, we are thus performing a 32 x 32 -> 64 mul per cycle.
Can one stick addition here without consuming cycles?
