It would seem that the drivers/serial/ns16550.c file currently being
included in my project has a few functions that are completely unused
by my board.  Is it allowable to duplicate the two functions I do use
(NS16550_putc and NS16550_init) in my code within a #ifdef CONFIG_NAND_SPL? This saves about 120 (decimal) bytes in the bootstrap image.
