I think it just updates some marketing names.

Rebuild from stable branch after 17 days after that is it

Stable branch checkout, 17 days diff... internal diff something, external diff not much

I think there are some new SKUs released recently so it was updated with new marketing names. The marketing names were part of libdrm which caused it to be rebuilt when they were updated. We've since switched to storing the marketing names in a separate file so as to not require new builds when we need to update it. See:

I think Michael is talking about an update to the AMDGPU-PRO stack, not the ROCm stack...
