Hello,

U-Boot 2017.01 and master branch is broken on BeagleBone Black
with boot partition formatted as FAT12, it hang after printing "Loading
u-boot.img" message. I bisected regression to this patch:

http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-December/276305.html

This code simplification is not going to work on architectures
with strict alignment requirements:

+               ret = FAT2CPU16(*(__u16 *)(mydata->fatbuf + off16));

fatbuf is a pointer to __u8 and off16 can take any values so
mydata->fatbuf + off16 is not guaranteed to be 16-bits aligned
and 16-bit access to non-aligned address will cause exception.
