[U-Boot] [PATCH] FAT: fix some issues in FAT write support code

Writing a file to the FAT partition didn't work while a
test using a CF card. The test was done on mpc5200 based
board (powerpc). There is a number of problems in FAT
write code:
Compiler warning:
fat_write.c: In function 'file_fat_write':
fat_write.c:326: warning: 'counter' may be used uninitialized
in this function
fat_write.c:326: note: 'counter' was declared here
'l_filename' string is not terminated, so a file name
with garbage at the end is used as a file name as shown
by debug code.
Return value of set_contents() is not checked properly
so actually a file won't be written at all (as checked
using 'fatls' after a write attempt with 'fatwrite'
command).
do_fat_write() doesn't return the number of written bytes
if no error happened. However the return value of this
function is used to show the number of written bytes
in do_fat_fswrite().
The patch adds some debug code and fixes above mentioned
problems and also fixes a typo in error output.
NOTE: after a successful write to the FAT partition (under
U-Boot) the partition was checked under Linux using fsck.
The partition needed fixing FATs:
-bash-3.2# fsck -a /dev/sda1
fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
FATs differ but appear to be intact. Using first FAT.
Performing changes.
