I only needed to test a bit.

As always, thanks for the guidance.

I hadn't noticed that setexpr supported indirection.

In case this helps someone else, I was looking for
a way to detect Android "recovery" mode, which is
flagged by bit seven in the SRC_GPR10 register
(address 0x020d8044).

And setexpr can be used like so:

	U-Boot > md.l 0x020d8044
	020d8044: 00000080                               ....
	U-Boot > setexpr rval *0x020D8044 \& 0x80
	U-Boot > print rval
	rval=80
	U-Boot > setexpr rval *0x020D8044 \& 0x40
	U-Boot > print rval
	rval=0

Regards,


Eric
