I simply don't get your point here.

Basically I'm reluctant to do so.
I have never touched ctime_r() nor asctime_r() as they were introduced
by Wolfgang in 2002. Since then, nobody complained. So why now?

I will address this issue in general in the future.

I commented against this above.
I believe that *hidden* dependency of include files should not be
exposed to users. In this case, for example, any code that uses
asctime_r() should not be bothered with such a dependency as
the code doesn't know what functions asctime_r() internally uses
or even if that function is inline or not.
I also mentioned this in another thread in different words:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2019-November/391959.html
