I'm find with a random SHA, but that's not really my department - I'm
upstream libfdt maintainer, but update policy in the qemu tree seems
like a qemu side decision.

dtc/libfdt releases are a rather haphazard affair.  Usually they
happen when somebody complains that there hasn't been a release with
some feature they want.  Our tests are both fast to run and have
reasonaably good coverage, so random commits are usually good.  So a
"release" is usually just slapping a new version number onto whatever
is in master and making a tag and tarball.
