Description:
Using Scaffold for generating entities I have a error "Could not find type mapping for column ... with data type 'timestamp'. Skipping column."

How to repeat:
Create table:
CREATE TABLE dummytable (
  id SMALLINT NOT NULL,
  modify TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

Use dotnet ef dbcontext scaffold command

Suggested fix:
Column with sql type TIMESTAMP must be mapped to C# DateTime

Hi, the bug whith timestamp fields: 
Could not find type mapping for column .. with data type 'timestamp'. Skipping column, does not allow to update the connector and perform a successful scaffolding, it's blocking.

I try using Mysql.Data 8.0.29
and MySql.EntityFramework 5.0.5 and 6.0.1  but the error is the same.

Any ETA to fix this bug.
