[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH v1 0/1] Include timezone information in build

[Chris Packham]

Hi,


Recently an eagle-eyed tester pointed out to me that the build time
reported in my u-boot build did not match the file timestamp on the
server it was stored on. This is because at $dayjob we have a build farm
with times set to UTC while the storage server was displaying the local
time. In reality the times were the same but the timezones were not and
there is no indication in the u-boot version about how to interpret the
time.

This is my attempt to address the issue by defining U_BOOT_TZ along side
U_BOOT_TIME and U_BOOT_DATE. I've kept the TZ portion separate because I
thought there might some push pack on changing the version string. For
my purposes I can display the TZ separately as long as it is defined by
the build process. I've also elected to use %Z instead of %z as I feel
that the timezone name is more friendly but that's just a personal
preference so I wouldn't object to switching to the numeric
representation if others feel strongly.
