Yes. But all title things are go into menu_add_titile, so how about this:

For proper spacing. But yes, it can be removed with patch above.

I wanted to consume more CPU cycles so that the Earth will suffer from power starvation. But you ruined my evil plan, clap-clap-clap.

It will be incorrect rendering. C u in patch v2 series.

 * strim - Removes leading and trailing whitespace from @s.

And mine does only:
>>  + /* Remove trailing whitespaces */

Because it's necessary to preserve identation in multiline title so that barebox will be able to display such text:
Barebox boot loader
Board: SomeSuperBoard
    CPU: ARMv8 @800MHz
    Mem: 512MB

Menu:
    ....
