fs/fat/fat_write: Fix buffer alignments
set_cluster() was using a temporary buffer without enforcing its alignment for DMA and cache. Moreover, it did not check the alignment of the passed buffer, which can come directly from applicative code or from the user. This could cause random data corruption, which has been observed on i.MX25 writing to an SD card. Fix this by only passing ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN-aligned buffers to disk_write(), which requires the introduction of a buffer bouncing mechanism for the misaligned buffers passed to set_cluster(). By the way, improve the handling of the corresponding return values from disk_write(): - print them with debug() in case of error, - consider that there is an error is disk_write() returns a smaller block count than the requested one, not only if its return value is negative. After this change, set_cluster() and get_cluster() are almost symmetrical. Signed-off-by: Benoît Thébaudeau <benoit@wsystem.com>
