Sorry, I just found that this issue was already fixed in erofs-utils:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs-utils.git/commit/?id=884866ca07817e97c59605a2fa858a0b732d3f3c

Would you mind checking if the patch above fixes the issue?

Hi Jianan,
Would you mind backporting this patch for u-boot?

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
