So far, all the announced AV1 chips have been for living room devices, and nothing for mobile, correct?

Living room has a lot more breathing room for power consumption, thermal management, and thus process. The mobile chips are where every extra transistor costs the most.

Of course, having a working HW decoder at all is a huge milestone, even if it might take a bit for those to migrate into mobile SoCs.
