Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 01/33] Add build date values to Makefile
Dear Simon, In message 1415751501-23407-2-git-send-email-...@chromium.org you wrote: At present there is a string for the build date and time. In the case of an Real Time Clock which needs to be reset, it is useful to reset it to the build date, since it can't be earlier than that. I can't see the fundamental difference between two wrong dates? The build time of U-Boot is as wrong as any other time.

Well if you buy a product (car, TV, microwave, phone) it tends to use a recent date when erased, rather than 1970. No fundamental difference, but closer to reality.
