[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add U_BOOT_TIMESTAMP definition

I just noticed that this was never applied.  Sorry...

But then - you only add a new #define to the build environment,
without any users of it, i. e. dead code.

Did you intend to post any code that would use this (in this case these
patches should be merged into one, or at least into a series), or can
we simply drop this patch?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
