[U-Boot] [PATCH] fs/fat: Fix unaligned __u16 reads for FAT12 access

Brüns, Stefan Stefan.Bruens at rwth-aachen.de
Thu Jan 26 18:55:44 CET 2017


Doing unaligned reads is not supported on all architectures, use
byte sized reads of the little endian buffer.
Rename off16 to off8, as it reflects the buffer offset in byte
granularity (offset is in entry, i.e. 12 bit, granularity).
Fix a regression introduced in 8d48c92b45aea91e2a2be90f2ed93677e85526f1
