Most of the money spent here it's probably going to help server side Linux which is a much bigger market. But I'm just as optimistic as you

I would think though that an SOC with good drivers in the kernel would be a massive selling point, blobs are a massive pain in the Android world.

AMD doesn't make Android phones though, I suspect Samsung or maybe Google would need to work on this

I'd a fairly modern/powerful blob-free SOC. For now, the closest I to it I got was an rk3399 based SBC. It is a start. RISCV may finally do it, but it is still a few years away if ever.
