Obviously, there is no problem at following your suggestion, but
I hesitate to do so as it adds only one line header file.
Moreover, mktime64(), which is the only reason for this patch,
is also declared in "linux/time.h" even in linux code.
# Please note that "linux/time64.h" is mainly for timespec64 helper
functions, which are never used in U-Boot.

So I'd like to leave as it is. I think that we can re-visit this issue
in the future when other definitions in time64.h are required.

Okay, but as an inline function in this case.
In addition, drivers/rtc/date.c will be moved to lib/ for general use
with CONFIG_LIB_DATE.
