This is not just U-Boot philosophy, but something that I would
consider a matter of course when writing code - using the appropriate
tools for the task at hand.  If all you want to do is sendout a
constant string to the utput device, there is no need to invoke a
function that provides fancy formatting options.

Don't we always try to use the smallest, most efficient tool that is
suited for a task?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
