This patch enables building SPL without

I like that we're starting down this path.  But can you explain why we
need each of these changes:

I try it ...

The determining change is in "include/common.h", which twist the
putc, puts, printf and vprintf functions to /dev/null ... so the
compiler/linker can drop all them ... all other changes are only
fixing compiler warnings, as for example vars no longer used ...

Having gone down the path of disabling output in SPL before due to size
constraints I didn't need to modify those files (but it was on an older
version)

Do you have a patch?

  common/image.c                     | 8 ++++++--

In this case I just said we only need those functions (and their
strings!) when we have SPL_SERIAL available.  It may be worth
re-checking what parts of this file we really need available in SPL
even.

Hmm... my change is only to get rid of compiler warning "var defined
but not used" with marking this vars with "__maybe_unused" ... so it
is the less intrusive way ...

If we have a header before the kernel image, we need functions from
here in SPL, and maybe FIT is sometime supported/used in SPL ...
maybe someone wants to print header info in SPL before booting it ...
so I do not know if this would be an easy job ...

We should be able to be fine without a preloader_console_init() func I
think.

I just defined a version for the non serial case, at this place
there is already this function ...

I only set:

        gd->bd = &bdata;
        gd->have_console = 0;

which seems not to bad to me ... ok, "gd->have_console" should be 0.
And why is in preloader_console_init() "gd->bd = &bdata;" ... this
seems not the right place to me, as it has nothing to do with
"console init" ... so maybe we really can drop it, but it gets called
from:

$ grep -lr preloader_console_init .
