I have to admit that I did not find the proginal source reference any more, but my understanding is that this was imported code from another project, and I see little reason to "fix" it (i. e. making it incompatible to the original code) if there is not a good reason for it. Formfeed characters in the source code are IMHO mostly a matter of taste - in the editor they don't really hurt, and who of you has been printing the U-Boot source code in the last decade? So my recommendation is to just ignore this. Let's focus on real problems, or at least real coding style violations.
