[U-Boot] [U-Boot, RFC] ext4fs: le32_to_cpu() used on a 16-bit field

Hi All,
U-Boot 2013.07-rc3 [ELDK 5.2.1 / ELDK 5.3]
Now I've started to use the new ext4 code. I need the "ext4write" command. Though there seems to be several problems with the ext2/ext4 code.
I am testing on an ml507 (PPC440, Big Endian). There are some cases where the a field is 16-bit but le32_to_cpu() is used. Some checks (ie eh_magic) fails to match even if I use a correctly ext4 formatted MMC/SD card.
Does these seem right? Or am I mistaken?

Hi Rommel,
Hi All,
U-Boot 2013.07-rc3 [ELDK 5.2.1 / ELDK 5.3]
Now I've started to use the new ext4 code. I need the "ext4write" command. Though there seems to be several problems with the ext2/ext4 code.
The ext4 code at u-boot (especially ext4write) needs special attention.
It is on top of my list to refactor and clean up this code base (especially the ext4write command).
I am testing on an ml507 (PPC440, Big Endian). There are some cases where the a field is 16-bit but le32_to_cpu() is used. Some checks (ie eh_magic) fails to match even if I use a correctly ext4 formatted MMC/SD card.

I would need to double check it (since I'm using only ext4load at my target board currently).

You can also CC ext4 u-boot's implementation authors.

What kind of mailer program have you used to sent this e-mail? I receive following errors:
fatal: corrupt patch at line 111
I cannot apply this patch with either git am -3 or git apply.
Were you using git send-email?

It seems like we should try to fix this before the release?

I can confirm that reading ext4 extended header on BE machine (avr32) is broken. I'm currently on it to get it working by using Rommel's patch.

This fixed ext4 on powerpc-based board. Thanks!
