I'm adopting the firmware-ath9k-htc package at the moment, which also uses a forked xtensa compiler and is built from source. Rather than package the custom toolchain first, I build the toolchain in addition to the firmware at the same time. I don't know that I'll have time before the freeze to help, but after Bullseye is released I think it would be relatively unpainful with my groundwork laid. That said I've not looked at the audio firmware and if it typically needs to be digitally signed, that's a bummer.
