"Remove ACK's support for riscv64. Support for risc64 GKI kernels is discontinued," the patch note briefly says. The deletion was submitted by a Google engineer, and naturally passed the review process. The practical effect of this is that Android operating system implementations using the next release of GKI won't work on RISC-V chips out of the box.
It's unclear what kind of effect this will have on RISC-V's integration into the Android ecosystem. There are no RISC-V smartphones out there yet, so it won't make life hard for phone makers, but it's hard to see GKI support being axed as conducive for the adoption of the open source CPU arch. Android still accepts RISC-V patches via AOSP.
