Re: [U-Boot] [U-Boot, v2] Reproducible U-Boot build support, using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

In order to achieve reproducible builds in U-Boot, timestamps that are defined at build-time have to be somewhat eliminated. The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable allows setting a fixed value for those timestamps.

Simply by setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to a fixed value, a number of targets can be built reproducibly. This is the case for e.g. sunxi devices.

However, some other devices might need some more tweaks, especially regarding the image generation tools.

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
