As has been pointed out, both are acceptable in common speech. I consider "do you have time" as slightly more formal and "better English". The "have you got time?" sounds more informal or less well educated.
Interestingly, if you add a "the" before the word "time", the meanings change. The former changing to "what time is it?" and the other could still mean "do you have time (to do something)?" OR "what time is it?"

They mean exactly the same thing. Both are equally acceptable, and just as common. Wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual.

The two phrases are very similar to me. There is not a real big difference.

there really is no difference in my view. Just word order
