Subject: xtensa: don't use echo -e needlessly

From: Max Filippov <[email protected]>

commit 123f15e669d5a5a2e2f260ba4a5fc2efd93df20e upstream.

-e is not needed to output strings without escape sequences. This breaks big endian FSF build when the shell is dash, because its builtin echo doesn't understand '-e' switch and outputs it in the echoed string.
