Yes, I certainly understand that. In general this is not safe, but in
practice it works well enough for development and CI. I am able to use
QEMU versions that differ by two years, partly because I am not trying
to do anything clever.

I have sent a patch to add an indication of where the devicetree came
from, to help with visibility on this.

Simon
