Thanks!

The impacts of the new RISC-V requirements were already described in a separate note under hardware enablement so I've referred to it instead.

Generally, I think it's best to point out these hardware support changes in a dedicated section because otherwise they can get lost among the highly technical and unsorted kernel news.
