The difference between v1 and v2 is the compact mask generation:

v1 : 
+rtx
+rvv_builder::compact_mask () const
+{
+  /* Use the container mode with SEW = 8 and LMUL = 1.  */
+  unsigned container_size
+    = MAX (CEIL (npatterns (), 8), BYTES_PER_RISCV_VECTOR.to_constant () / 8);
+  machine_mode container_mode
+    = get_vector_mode (QImode, container_size).require ();...

v2:
+rtx
+rvv_builder::get_compact_mask () const
+{
+  /* If TARGET_MIN_VLEN == 32, the minimum LMUL = 1/4.
+     Otherwise, the minimum LMUL = 1/8.  */
+  unsigned min_lmul = TARGET_MIN_VLEN == 32 ? 4 : 8;
+  unsigned min_container_size
+    = BYTES_PER_RISCV_VECTOR.to_constant () / min_lmul;
+  unsigned container_size = MAX (CEIL (npatterns (), 8), min_container_size);
+  machine_mode container_mode
+    = get_vector_mode (QImode, container_size).require ();...

The difference is that v1:
unsigned container_size = MAX (CEIL (npatterns (), 8), BYTES_PER_RISCV_VECTOR.to_constant () / 8);


v2: 

+  /* If TARGET_MIN_VLEN == 32, the minimum LMUL = 1/4.
+     Otherwise, the minimum LMUL = 1/8.  */
+  unsigned min_lmul = TARGET_MIN_VLEN == 32 ? 4 : 8;
+  unsigned min_container_size
+    = BYTES_PER_RISCV_VECTOR.to_constant () / min_lmul;
+  unsigned container_size = MAX (CEIL (npatterns (), 8), min_container_size);
