[U-Boot] [PATCH-v2] fat32 root directory handling

Remy Bohmer linux at bohmer.net

From: Erik Hansen <erik at makarta.com>

Fat directory handling didn't check reaching the end of the root directory. It
relied on a stop condition based on a directory entry with a name starting with
a '\0' character. This check in itself is wrong ('\0' indicates free entry, not
end_of_directory) but outside the scope of this fix. For FAT32, the end of the
rootdir is reached when the end of the cluster chain is reached. The code didn't
check this condition and started to read an incorrect cluster. This caused a
subsequent read request of a sector outside the range of the usb stick in
use. On its turn, the usb stick protested with a stall handshake.

Both FAT32 and non-FAT32 (FAT16/FAT12) end or rootdir checks have been put in.

 V2: Removed added new line
 I pick this patch up from here since this patch fixes a long standing issue we
 have with several USB sticks.
