Description

Sorry for the junk issue; but just wondering, is there an Xtensa maintainer?
I've been stacking up backend issues and workarounds for months, and there seems to be no action (or even comment) on any of the Xtensa issues I've lodged... is it a dead target?

Espressif alone have shipped 10s of BILLIONS of cores... that's a lot of deployed devices. It's a very useful target!
