Remove ^L string

What is the purpose of this modification?

Cleaning up the sources?  These are not intentionally inserted
characters we have in a handful of files.  Mainly in "bedbug" files and
malloc related files.
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?

To be honest, I have not test it, I just see the ^L string in source file with editor. And try to clean it.

So my recommendation is to just ignore this.  Let's focus on real
problems, or at least real coding style violations.

OK. We can ignore this, and let's focus on real problems.

Best Regards,
Bo Shen

Best regards,
