The difference between 'printf' and 'diag_printf' is that 'diag_printf'
will only try and print on a single device, whereas 'printf' will try
and print on all confifgured devices.
Either de-configure all but the one device or turn off the switch that
tells RedBoot to use all consoles (CYGPKG_REDBOOT_ANY_CONSOLE)
