To save the FDT blob we have the '-machine dumpdtb=<file>' property.
With this property set, the machine saves the FDT in <file> and exit.
The created file can then be converted to plain text dts format using
'dtc'.
There's nothing particularly sophisticated into saving the FDT that
can't be done with the machine at any state, as long as the machine has
a valid FDT to be saved.
The 'dumpdtb' command receives a 'filename' parameter and, if the FDT is
available via current_machine->fdt, save it in dtb format to 'filename'.
In short, this is a '-machine dumpdtb' that can be fired on demand via
QMP/HMP.
This command will always be executed in-band (i.e. holding BQL),
avoiding potential race conditions with machines that might change the
FDT during runtime (e.g. PowerPC 'pseries' machine).

If I configure my build with --enable-sanitizers, my GCC (v8.5.0)
complains:
.../softmmu/device_tree.c: In function ‘qemu_fdt_add_path’:
.../softmmu/device_tree.c:560:18: error: ‘retval’ may be used uninitialized
in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
int namelen, retval;
^~~~~~
It's a false warning since the while loop is always executed at least
once (p has to be non-NULL, otherwise the derefence in the if-statement
earlier will crash). Thus let's switch to a do-while loop here instead
to make the compiler happy in all cases.

Machine options can be retrieved as properties of the machine object.
Encourage that by removing the "easy" accessor to machine options.
