Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] arm: mvebu: helios4_defconfig: enable setexpr command

[Josua Mayer <josua@solid-run.com>]

Hi Dennis,

Use-case is with separate boot and rootfs partitions to calculate
next partition number as argument for further commands:

setexpr openwrt_rootpart ${distro_bootpart} + 1
part uuid ${devtype} ${devnum}:${openwrt_rootpart} uuid
setenv bootargs ${bootargs} root=PARTUUID=${uuid} rootfstype=auto rootwait
