This commit adds a new script to create a file (in dts file directory) with
some information (date, Linux version, user). This file could then be used
to populate "build-info" property in every dts file that would use this
build information:
Example:
/ {
...
build-info = /incbin/("dtb-build.txt");
s/.txt/.dtsi/
and same wherever the file name is used.
...

I would remove the filler words "From", "by", "the", and the trailing
period ('.').

You might consider using a format more like the Linux
kernel version line, which puts parenthesis around the
compiled by info.
IMO, we should use exactly the Linux kernel version line. Or exactly
the u-boot version line when built in u-boot.
I agree to keep the same format than Linux banner. But does it make
sense to keep uts version, config flags ?
