This was merged into U-Boot in early 2012, so you don't need a patch.
See bootstage.h for the API.

Adding CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE option and then make didn't work.

Can you give more detail, e.g. what exactly is the commit you're
trying to build, what is the command line, and what is the error
message?

I'm working on u-boot version 2014-01.

Actually, there is no error message, u-boot runs without any timestamp.

bootstage is a way of measuring boot time and progress - what sort of
timestamp are you looking for?

If you are looking for timestamps before each logged message in the console, 
then _NO_ BOOTSTAGE will not add those. It does give a report later on (or 
when you explicitly execute 'bootstage report').

Did you read the README file? Did you check the configuration of other 
boards using the BOOTSTAGE? For example coreboot.h or sandbox.h?

All the best,
Rommel

bootstage is exactly what I'm looking for. Is it enough to define
#define CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE to build u-boot with timestamping?

Suggest #define CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT also so you get an automatic
report before booting the kernel.
