You should be able to tell beforehand how much this could save by
analyzing the strings in a current U-Boot compile, right? This way one
would know whether it makes sense to embark on that journey.
_If_ we decide to go down that route, I'd suggest using functions
comparable to what Linux offers, e.g. something like pr_err, pr_warning,
etc.
