Above you write that part_drv->get_info = NULL is part of your
configuration. So it will always be printed. The size of the SPL is very
critical on many boards. We should avoid anything that increases it.

Why is part_get_info_by_name_type() being called in your configuration
which does not provide a partition driver in SPL? Are there some
dependencies missing in the Kconfig files?
