I am using u-boot 2017.03 in my system and enabled the debug in fs/fat/fat.c
I had a USB disk formatted in FAT16 in Linux, I put a bigfile.bin into / in the
USB disk and plugged the disk into by board.
Then I want to read/load the bigfile.bin into RAM with u-boot's fatload
command, I did followings.
# usb reset
# fatls usb 0, it showd,

I have tried many times, even with "fatload usb 0 0x100000 bigfile.bin
2000000", it still failed with above error.
I can not test newer version of u-boot, since there are lots of old drivers I
am using.
