We could use the following two facts:
1. the image contents are printed with only two indentations: 0 or 3 spaces,
2. indentation with 3 spaces is used in U-Boot, indentation with 0
spaces is used in mkimage.

With the following change we could then drop the second argument altogether:

--- a/common/image.c
+++ b/common/image.c
@@ -301,8 +301,16 @@ static void image_print_type (image_header_t *hdr)
   * returns:
   *     no returned results
   */
-void image_print_contents (image_header_t *hdr, const char *p)
+void image_print_contents (image_header_t *hdr)
  {
+       const char *p;
+
+#ifdef USE_HOSTCC
+       p = "";
+#else
+       p = "   ";
+#endif
+


If the above is what is wanted, I'll prepare a patch -- comments are
welcome.

Regards,
Bartlomiej
