Is that supposed to run inside the sandbox? I briefly tested this there,
only to realise that the sandbox' hostfs does not support the directory
operations (fs_opendir_unsupported). I haven't thought about it too much,
nor do I have much experience with U-Boot's test framework, but this sounds
like a problem?

Yeah, I wasn't happy with that name either, but couldn't come up with a
better name. "fsapply" seems to be a nice alternative, I will go with that!
