It's not that special now - we have the same for microblaze and nios2
(and more are coming). There was a build that moved the hexagon

Just include the patch to update the docker file in the series that
introduces the feature and mention it in the cover letter. Users can
always build the container locally and we can ensure the binary image is
updated once it's merged.
