[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 00/26] subject: fs: fat: extend FAT write operations

This patch series[1] is an attempt to address FAT write related issues
in an effort of running UEFI SCT (Self-Certification Test) to verify
UEFI support on u-boot.

SCT is a test platform as well as an extensive collection of test
cases for UEFI specification. It can run all the tests automatically
and save test results to dedicated log files.

AFAIK, what's missing in the current fat file system to safely run
SCT without errors (I don't mean test case failures) are:
* write a file located under sub-directories
* write a file with non-zero offset
* delete a file
* create a directory

What's more, this series contains a file system test; "basic" test
is directly derived from test/test-fs.sh. The others, "ext" and "mkdir,"
are solely for newly added functionality in this patch series.

Patch#1 to patch#7 are some sort of preparatory ones.
Patch#8 implements write with sub-directories path.
Patch#9 to patch#11 implement write with non-zero offset.
Patch#12 to patch#16 are related to creating a directory.
Patch#17 to patch#20 allows for deleting a file or directory.
Patch#21 fixes a minor bug in fs-test.sh.
Patch#22 updates a test result summary.
Patch#23 to patch#26 add a file system test in U-boot pytest suite.

I applied this patch series on top of v2018.09-rc along with a couple
of yet-to--be-upstreamed UEFI-related patches, and could successfully
run unmodified SCT[2] on qemu-arm(arm64).

=== future TODO list ===
1. set creation (,access and modification) time
2. debug() vs. printf()
3. open()'s parameter checks
4. precisely detect and prevent write() beyond out-of-space
5. create an unique short name from a long file name
6. fat32's fsInfo support

Without (5) or (6), fsck may issue warnings.

Changes in v3 (Sep 11, 2018)
* remove v2's patch#4 which tries to make iterator symbols global
* add unlink operation along with a pytest script
* use guestmount, if available, for non-root user
* remove all the filesystem images created in tests

Changes in v2 (Sep 4, 2018)
* guard the whole content of fat.h with CONFIG_FS_FAT against a compiler
  warning
* determine total_sect in struct fsdata correctly, depending on fat type
  (12/16 or 32)
* explicitly revert "fs: fat: cannot write to subdirectories"
* add test scripts with pytest, mostly the same as RFC, but
  removing "sudo" for ext4 case
