hm together with the needed git configuration IMO a bit to complicated for my
needs. To be honest I would like to keep this date information as it is.

If this is not acceptable then I will remove this string completely from the
u-boot tree and force the users to add a VERSION file to /tftpboot/scripts with:

$ git describe > /tftpboot/scripts/VERSION

or I keep it as a OOT patch. Just let me know.

Best regards
