Oh, I'm talking about the package definition - not linux-libre itself.

RISCV is a computer architecture like ARM or x86_64. RISCV has simply
not upstreamed their patches yet and has nothing to do with
linux-libre or not libre. But for the time being no one has produced a
RISCV SoC yet that requires binary blobs to work, so compiling
riscv-linux after running the deblobbing script is at the moment is
probably bit-wise identical and applying the patches to linux-libre is
a trivial matter.

Sorry if my wording was confusing.

Thank you,
David
