Yes, absolutely related. This fight started because Qualcomm bought Nuvia and started using their designs (and their ARM license for those designs). This recent escalation is almost certainly because Qualcomm is about to bring Oryon, which was designed by Nuvia, to smartphones.

Geez, that is some stupid situation, I kinda got excited with oryon going on android since it is their only ip that is currently being opensourced.

IDK man but my tinfoil hat says that apple are the one who is pulling the strings on arm with regards to this.
