If you're up to it, here is the link: http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/PW2/README.txt

And at some point, after Ixtab gets off his holiday break, he will create an easy install method.

You will need to jailbreak, and there is no non-jailbreak image since the install is based off a jailbroken firmware.
Unfortunately, a simple .bin file to roll back to 5.4.0 appears to be a tall order (even though I have great faith in our developers!)...read knc1's comment about that here. I wouldn't hold my breath.
