But now we're forcing bash.  Jeroen, since you most often run into the
"but now you've introduced a Linux'ism" problems, bash or bc or
something else for a portable hex to decimal conversion?  Or since so
much of U-Boot is hex when talking numbers, maybe we should just make
the echos say "... size of 0x$foo expected 0x$bar" ?
