This company has a office in my live city, I'd a simple and shorter time visit to their office last week.

They tell to me, they are developing the new board driver for upstream kernel, 
doing patching and committing for upstream kernel now.
as visit time is shorter, I hasn't time to know the detail about their upstream kernel work.

This company also has the plan for produced a stronger riscv server, perhaps 128 cores.
They also has willing to donate riscv server to Debian, but they didn't know how to do.

I know that the riscv buildd is slow in Debian now, also has some other questions.(I know these information on Brest Debconf25) 

I feedback that donate riscv server to Debian is welcome, I can do some help after their server is produced.

In fact, I didn't know the detail about How to donate? How to set up a offical riscv buildd?

Is need to contact DSA team? Can the server location in Chinese IDC?

I'll keep contact with this company, if it has new information, 
I'll forward to  debian-riscv@lists.debian.org.
