Subject: [MIPS] Fix and cleanup the mess that a dozen prom_printf variants are.
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=36a885306fdf7bb557c773309c993bfb2d0d693c;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[MIPS] Fix and cleanup the mess that a dozen prom_printf variants are.

early_printk is a so much saner thing.
