[U-Boot] Error reading cluster" from fs/fat/fat.c

Hello list,

I have a annoying problem with u-boot 2019.07. I try to boot a Linux
Image from a fat16 partition on a SD-Card. But I got the "Error reading
cluster" Message from fs/fat/fat.c

=> boot
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc2 is current device
Error reading cluster
** Unable to read file Image **

=> mmc part
Partition Map for MMC device 2  --   Partition Type: DOS
Part    Start Sector    Num Sectors     UUID            Type
  1     16384           266240          d38187c8-01     06
  2     282624          7491584         d38187c8-02     83

After some debugging I end up in blk_dread() from drivers/block/blk-uclass.c

blks_read = ops->read(dev, start, blkcnt, buffer);

here I got blks_read=0 which seems is the cause for the "Error reading cluster"
later in get_cluster().

Here a Debug Trace with some variables printed out:

get_cluster() ret=-1
get_cluster() idx=48513

Can somebody help me to find the cause of this problem? Is something
with my fat partion or partition table wrong or do I hit a bug?

Best regards,

Oliver
