[U-Boot] [PATCH] Reproducible U-Boot build support, using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

Okay, maybe I'll have a go at your scripts then! The idea to coordinate
with Debian developers would be to use their infrastructure to
automatically test as many u-boot targets as possible in an automated
and periodical manner (e.g. once a month), so that we can easily spot
which target is broken or which commit introduced a regression.

Good point, that makes sense. I'll craft that in v2. I'll just wait for
some more feedback before sending a new version.

Thanks!
