good question, that's given in experience.

Without CR symbol the output is crumpled:

----8<----
DRAM:  64 MiB
              WARNING: Caches not enabled
                                         Flash: 4 MiB
                                                     Using default 
environment
----8<----

Also note there are similar hooks in several other serial drivers.
