I don't think we should remove this. For some people it might be more
convenient to read the SoC UID from Linux or to parse it from the
barebox console log.

By using soc_uid_hex we no longer have to reverse the byte order, but
still have to reformat it (split into bytes, add 0x and comma). I think
this little convenience gain is not worth the change really.
