LGTM, can confirm this fixes the issue. Waiting on maintainer approval now.

@manu could you check this out?

In case of maintainer timeout, I will go ahead and commit this in a day or two.

@manu Maintainer timeout. Let me know ASAP if you need any changes to v2 of this after I post it. I will be committing after testing all u-boot ports with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and once the ports tree is unfrozen.

@cen.is.imba_gmail.com I'm going to commandeer this and list you as the author to give you credit. I will update the diff with some necessary adjustments, please let me know if you need any fixes after that.
