[PATCH 1/5] fat: fix minfatsize for large FAT32
...ished nothing. The whole point of this
text is to evaluate the "real" minimal FAT size value. Whether Syslinux
should accept smaller values than the "real" one, that's a matter for
additional discussion.
Values that we know:
_ FAT type: 32 (i.e. Cluster allocation of 28 bits_per_FAT_entry, plus
4 unused bits_per_FAT_entry)
_ Generic amount of Cluster limits for FAT32:
65'525 to 268'435'444 clusters
Please note that these 2 limits are not 100% accurate for every
scenario / implementation / OS, but they are the extreme ones that
might be found in any case. This...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I think I implied that the Large FAT32 fat size
had an extra sector compared to minfatsize, when of course I meant the
opposite (the Large FAT32 has one less sector than the minfatsize
computed by the unpatched code, hence the check
