You haven't provided any user of this function.  I don't think this
should get merged without a caller (nor should an artificial caller be
added).  What's your use case for adding this?

Also, while I realize __putstr already has this problem, ideally all the
printing functions in this file should go in some separate source file
that gets omitted when !CONFIG_PRINTK (or possibly
!CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK).
