I would imagine they have some infrastructure running on OpenBSD.

From the spec page http://www.smartisan.com/en/m1/#/specs it appears their OS is based on Android.

Perhaps they're simply grateful for OpenSSH and for all that it enables?

Sadly not; but I would buy an OpenBSD phone... if anyone wants to make it, please call me!

Or they're doing it for the tooling e.g. supporting openssh

edit: Smartisan's PR indicates the other donation is to OpenSSL, so it seems likely the primary purpose of the OpenBSD donation is in fact SSH.

Or maybe they're just mistaken...? (I'm kidding)

In celebration of this milestone, Smartisan will donate approximately 3 million RMB from sales of tickets of this year's and last year's launch events to OpenSSL Software Foundation and the OpenBSD Foundation, two Android open source service organizations.
