[PATCH 0/7] fix ext4 support for volumes greater than 4 GiB

[Antony Pavlov <antonynpavlov@gmail.com>]

At the moment barebox can't correctly handle ext4 filesystem volume
greater than 4 GiB.

This patchseries fixes the problem by adaption of U-Boot commits.

How to reproduce the problem:

    $ git clone https://git.pengutronix.de/git/barebox
    $ cd barebox
    barebox$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=128M count=40 of=5G.img
    barebox$ /sbin/mkfs.ext4 -F 5G.img
    barebox$ mkdir mnt
    barebox$ sudo mount 5G.img mnt/
    barebox$ sudo mkdir mnt/testdir
    barebox$ sudo touch mnt/testdir/testfile
    barebox$ ls mnt/testdir/testfile -l
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 20 14:53 mnt/testdir/testfile
    barebox$ sudo umount mnt/
    barebox$ make sandbox_defconfig
    ...
    barebox$ make -j3 -s
    ...
    barebox$ ./barebox -i 5G.img
    ...
    barebox@barebox sandbox:/ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/
    ext4 ext40: EXT2 rev 1, inode_size 256
    barebox@barebox sandbox:/ ls /mnt/testdir/testfile
    ls: /mnt/testdir/testfile: No such file or directory
    barebox@barebox sandbox:/ ls /mnt/ -l
    drwxrwxrwx              0 .
    drwxrwxrwx              0 ..
    drwx------          16384 lost+found
    ?---------              0 testdir

On the other hand there is no problem with volumes
less than 4 GiB:

    barebox$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=128M count=24 of=3G.img
    barebox$ /sbin/mkfs.ext4 -F 3G.img
    barebox$ sudo mount 3G.img mnt/
    barebox$ sudo mkdir mnt/testdir
    barebox$ sudo touch mnt/testdir/testfile
    barebox$ ls mnt/testdir/testfile -l
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 20 15:05 mnt/testdir/testfile
    barebox$ sudo umount mnt/
    barebox$ ./barebox -i 3G.img
    ...
    barebox@barebox sandbox:/ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/
    ext4 ext40: EXT2 rev 1, inode_size 256
    barebox@barebox sandbox:/ ls /mnt/testdir/testfile
    /mnt/testdir/testfile
    barebox@barebox sandbox:/ ls /mnt/ -l
    drwxrwxrwx              0 .
    drwxrwxrwx              0 ..
    drwx------          16384 lost+found
    drwxr-xr-x           4096 testdir
