There is no such commit as 975e30b:

~/projets/buildroot (master)$ git show 975e30b
fatal: ambiguous argument '975e30b': unknown revision or path not in
the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

I very well remember that mksquashfs had the very annoying default
behavior of making its output file 0444. Like because it was a
read-only filesystem, the images should also be read-only, which is
obviously a bit silly.

Maybe mksquashfs has changed its default behavior since then, but
clearly that's the reason why we were doing this.
