This patch is a good example of why travis-ci is useful, even if takes a
few hours for the cycle to complete (kick it off and check the results
in the morning :)).  As is, it's broken on PowerPC (where
CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL is the conditional for puts/printf/etc), mx31pdk
and evb-rk3036 (and this is an incomplete list).  The ARM targets are
harder to just fix as it shows an underlying problem.  Today we have no
single symbol that means "In SPL I want serial output" (and ditto TPL).
We try and rely on SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT but this misses the case where we
use neither TINY_PRINTF nor LIBCOMMON but instead have only puts
available in a more raw way.  So before we can make the type of change
you're doing here we need to introduce a symbol that means "I have
output".  That will also greatly reduce the logic needed in the tests in
common.h for having puts/etc be real or do-while loops.  Thanks!
