What is the point of this, given that you can already insert your own
putc function using diag_init_putc()? The only gain appears to be that
your custom write_char function would not need to worry about
carriage return/linefeed handling, whereas a custom putc may need to
do so - depending on the output destination. That is not worth
imposing a bit more code and data bloat on everybody.
