-Subject: [PATCH] Revert "riscv: Use latest system call ABI"
-
-This reverts commit d4c08b9776b392e20efc6198ebe1bc8ec1911d9b.
-
-The latest RISC-V 32bit glibc submission doesn't work with this patch,
-so let's revert it. This revert can be reverted when the glibc
-submission is updated to work on the 5.1 kernel.
