It's hard to tell without having your code, but I think this problem
was already discussed in [1]. However I do not remember how Prabhakar
solved it in the end.

In [1] I suggested to put an

#ifndef CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
U_BOOT_CMD(
...
);
#endif

around the command definition in the board file. But also other
solutions were discussed in that thread, please have a look.
