This bug shows up when file stored on the ext4 file system is updated.
The ext4fs_delete_file() is responsible for deleting file's (e.g. uImage)
data.
However some global data (especially ext4fs_indir2_block), which is used
during file deletion are left unchanged.
The ext4fs_indir2_block pointer stores reference to old ext4 double
indirect allocated blocks. When it is unchanged, after file deletion,
ext4fs_write_file() uses the same pointer (since it is already initialized
- i.e. not NULL) to return number of blocks to write. This trunks larger
file when previous one was smaller.
Lets consider following scenario:
1. Flash target with ext4 formatted boot.img (which has uImage [*] on itself)
2. Developer wants to upload their custom uImage [**]
- When new uImage [**] is smaller than the [*] - everything works
correctly - we are able to store the whole smaller file with corrupted
ext4fs_indir2_block pointer
- When new uImage [**] is larger than the [*] - theCRC is corrupted,
since truncation on data stored at eMMC was done.
3. When uImage CRC error appears, then reboot and LTHOR/DFU reflashing causes
proper setting of ext4fs_indir2_block() and after that uImage[**]
is successfully stored (correct uImage [*] metadata is stored at an
eMMC on the first flashing).
Due to above the bug was very difficult to reproduce.
This patch sets default values for all ext4fs_indir* pointers/variables.

This hooks into the generic "file exists" support added in an earlier
patch, and provides an implementation for the ext4 filesystem.

With CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA, lbaint_t gets defined as a 64-bit type,
which is required to represent block numbers for storage devices that
exceed 2TiB (the block size usually is 512B), e.g. recent hard drives
We now use lbaint_t for partition offset to reflect the lbaint_t change,
and access partitions beyond or crossing the 2.1TiB limit.
This required changes to signature of ext4fs_devread(), and type of all
variables relatives to block sector.
ext2/ext4 fs uses logical block represented by a 32 bit value. Logical
block is a multiple of device block sector. To avoid overflow problem
when calling ext4fs_devread(), we need to cast the sector parameter.

The 512 byte block size was hard coded in the ext4 file systems.
Large harddisks today support bigger block sizes typically 4096
bytes.
This patch removes this limitation.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to have these methods in fs.c. They are
filesystem-specific, not generic code. Add each to the relevant
filesystem and remove the associated #ifdefs in fs.c.

This makes the FAT and ext4 filesystem implementations build if
CONFIG_FS_{FAT,EXT4} are defined, rather than basing the build on
whether CONFIG_CMD_{FAT,EXT*} are defined. This will allow the
filesystems to be built separately from the filesystem-specific commands
that use them. This paves the way for the creation of filesystem-generic
commands that used the filesystems, without requiring the filesystem-
specific commands.
Minor documentation changes are made for this change.
The new config options are automatically selected by the old config
options to retain backwards-compatibility.

On x86 machines gd is unfortunately a #define, so we should avoid using
gd for anything. This patch changes uses of gd to bgd so that ext4fs
can be used on x86.
A better fix would be to remove the #define in x86, but I'm not sure
how to do that.

Convert ext2/4 load, ls, and write functions to use common device and
partition parsing function. With the common function "dev:part" can come
from the environment and a '-' can be used in that case.
