Subject: xtensa: don't use echo -e needlessly
From: Max Filippov <jcmvbkbc@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 123f15e669d5a5a2e2f260ba4a5fc2efd93df20e upstream.
-e is not needed to output strings without escape sequences. This breaks
big endian FSF build when the shell is dash, because its builtin echo
doesn't understand '-e' switch and outputs it in the echoed string.
