See https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/21406 for more details. It simply changes usage of scratch registers prefering `t1` instead of `t0` for jumps and calls, which should not affect basic functionality. This also reverted an unnecessary change previously made in two files  `src/hotspot/cpu/riscv/c2_CodeStubs_riscv.cpp` and `src/hotspot/cpu/riscv/templateTable_riscv.cpp`.

The changes for JEP 491 are currently in review for main line ([pull/21565](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/21565)). It may be better to re-base your change against that PR or do a follow-up change after it has been integrated.
