Would it be possible to tag a release at some point after d0ad096 and 29426f3?

I have packaged open-ath9k-htc-firmware for nixpkgs. Nixpkgs generally doesn't provide software until upstream (i.e. you) have assigned it a release name/number/identifier. Unfortunately at the moment the latest tagged release, 1.4.0, uses a very old version of gcc that doesn't work well on powerpc64le or aarch64. It also doesn't include cryptographic hashes for the toolchain sources. The latest git HEAD doesn't have either of these problems, and works quite well!

Thank you so much for providing this. I can only try to imagine the superhuman patience and political skill it must have taken to get a major semiconductor design firm to release firmware source like this (although I have heard that Atheros Communications was an unusually enlightened company).
