As a developer of U-Boot, yo don't want to do that - you always  want
to have the most convenient access methods available :-)

But there are situation when the end user needs the serial  port  for
other purposes, and U-Boot is prepared to deal wih this situation. If
everything else fails you can use netconsole.

No need to hack anything. All necessary  defines  to  shut  down  the
serial  console  completely are already in place. Just define them in
your board config file.
