The idea of our Python test environment is that we can run it on
physical boards. Amongst others differences in bitness or endianness can
lead to test failures that occur on some boards but not on others. So
preferably tests should be executable on all boards. If this is not
reasonably possible, e.g. when using sandbox drivers, the test author
must ensure that no error occurs when building or testing on other boards.

CONFIG_CMD_SETEXPR is selected by default by
sipeed_maix_smode_defconfig. Hence we should allow testing the command
on the board.
