Subject: [PATCH] use fff/ffff/fffffff instead of ff8/fff8/ffffff8 for EOF of FAT

Hi,

For example on FAT12, the current FAT driver recognize 0xff8-0xfff as
EOF, and it writes in 0xff8 as EOF. This is right behavior. However,
the firmware of some MP3-Players recognize only 0xfff(standard EOF
which Micorsoft uses) as EOF.

So, we write 0xfff instead of 0xff8 as EOF, until the reason we need
values other than standard EOF is found.

[Randy Dunlap, I appreciate your help.]

Please apply.
