I tested this series on NVIDIA's Jetson TK1 board. It doesn't seem to 
introduce any new issues, but I did find a couple have crept in recently:

I'm running the following in U-Boot:

setenv dfu_alt_info "/dfu_test.bin ext4 0 1;/dfudummy.bin ext4 0 1"
dfu 0 mmc 0

1)

Whenever any file is uploaded through DFU, I see:

#File System is consistent
file found deleting
update journal finished
File System is consistent
update journal finished
18425346722729591336 bytes written in 4070 ms (3.9 EiB/s)

Notice that the byte count is way off (that's from a 4KB file). The byte 
count is always the same invalid number. I'm not sure if this message 
comes from the ext4 or DFU code.

2)

Both the 4096 and 1048576 DFU tests fail in the read-back stage, with 
the following appearing on the U-Boot console:

#File System is consistent
file found deleting

The host-side DFU test log ends with:
