The U-Boot FAT driver appears to manually check for the existence of an MS-DOS partition table, even when CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION is present and working.
As a result, it is not possible to use the FAT driver on an ISO9660 El-Torito boot volume, because it does not have a DOS MBR and does not pass the magic number check. It looks like the code in the FAT driver to check DOS MBRs is just legacy code from before libpart existed, and I would like to remove it, except several board configs seem to set CONFIG_CMD_FAT but do not set CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION: include/configs/dbau1x00.h include/configs/mv88f6281gtw_ge.h include/configs/hymod.h include/configs/LANTEC.h include/configs/gth2.h include/configs/dreamplug.h include/configs/lacie_kw.h include/configs/dockstar.h include/configs/omap3_evm_common.h include/configs/guruplug.h include/configs/rd6281a.h include/configs/ep8260.h include/configs/sheevaplug.h Can I just modify those board configs to set CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION and remove the duplicated FAT-specific partition-table probing code or is there something else I should do?
