Google is a contributor but you’re going to have a bad time if you think that Google is some monolithic entity. While a part of Google is funding it, other Googlers may be maintainers that are opposed to helping the project (eg look at the article about the rust for Linux maintainer stepping down due to burnout from politics and the comments made my Ted Tso a Google employee against the R4L project). But yes, R4L is a thing that’s still going on but it’s unrelated to rust in firmware unless you bucket everything Rust together. R4L is adapting Rust and establishing conventions and build systems relevant only to the Linux kernel and that’s not necessarily a whole lot in common with firmware projects which are typically managed and maintained very differently with very different build systems.
