Felix Fietkau 3f93139130 tools/mkimage: backport SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for reproducible builds
This pulls in Paul Kocialkowski's SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support patch for u-boot,
which landed upstream circa July 2015. Note that this "host" u-boot repo is
only used to compile the 'mkimage' utility, and isn't used to actually compile
a bootloader for any target.

This patch could be removed if/when the host u-boot package is updated to a
contemporary version (but there doesn't seem to be any motivation/need to do
so).

Subject: [PATCH] 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.

+Reproducible builds
+-------------------
+
+In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
+process have to be set to a fixed value.
+
+This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
+SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
+option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
+
+SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
