I think there is an edge case that if the user's custom tarball or GIT repo selects XEN_TOOLS and contains the qemu-xen folder with a cached set of files those won't be used. We currently unconditionally do the following in xen.mk.
define XEN_INSTALL_QEMU_XEN_SRC
rm -rf $(@D)/tools/qemu-xen
cp -a $(QEMU_XEN_DIR) $(@D)/tools/qemu-xen
endef
I don't think this edge case is worth considering at this point and if someone runs into it, they could add a new check for existence of that folder and fail out. Or determine a better option.
Regards,
Matt

I thought of the same potential issue.
I do have a test case with mixing versions. At the moment, Xilinx has a
vendor/custom xen repo, but there is not a vendor/custom qemu-xen repo.
In my testing, I verified that a combination of the Xilinx xen repo builds
properly with the upstream qemu-xen repo from the qemu-xen package.
I know this is just one test case, but the fact that the xen and qemu-xen
repos are separated, it should mean that we can mix and match the versions
between the two repos. In other words, if someone builds xen with a cached
qemu-xen, it will probably still build and work when the xen package wipes
the cached qemu-xen version and replaces it with the buildroot qemu-xen
package version.
Before we overthink it and add code that might not be necessary, I propose
we wait and see if a user ever does run into a case where replacing the cached
qemu-xen version with the buildroot qemu-xen package version causes a problem.
Perhaps we can try testing some older xen versions without touching the
qemu-xen package as a sanity check? Is this something you could do?
Best regards,
Neal Frager
AMD

Agree, I think it is OK as is until a specific case helps to clarify. I did a test with https://downloads.xenproject.org/release/xen/4.20.0/xen-4.20.0.tar.gz and it built after I manually applied the existing 4.21 patches on top. No issue with the newer QEMU used for the tools build.

Add support for custom tarballs such as tarballs from vendor Xen trees.
To test this feature, use the following configs to test latest release of the
Xilinx Xen vendor tree.
To test:
BR2_aarch64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN_AARCH64_GLIBC_STABLE=y

Add to package/xen/xen.hash:

You are right. Thank you for catching this.
I added this early on when developing these patches and forgot to remove it.
It always helps to have another set of eyes reviewing!
Thanks!

For completeness, add custom git support to match the capabilities of other
packages such as Linux, uboot or ATF.
To test this feature, use the following configs to test latest release of the
Xilinx Xen vendor tree.
To test:
BR2_aarch64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN_AARCH64_GLIBC_STABLE=y

BR2_PACKAGE_XEN_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="791ade0eeae73a851f728cf2c9964dd303cc7d8e"
Add to package/xen/xen.hash:
sha256 bb4c156bedcf2e621f8de258fcc3d84a189c522fcf39df8de3865ba53bc10874 xen-791ade0eeae73a851f728cf2c9964dd303cc7d8e-git4.tar.gz
