I think you are missing a verb in the first half of your sentence
where the driver works by chance.

After facing ext4 write corruptions and read errors I checked
the ext4 implementation briefly.
Hopefully this patch helps other users to detect earlier that
they're using ext4 features which are not supported by u-boot.
To make feature checking possible I had to figure what this
implementation actually supports.
I hope I got them right, feedback is welcome!
Thanks,

[PATCH] ext4: Improve feature checking
Evaluate the filesystem incompat and ro_compat bit fields to judge
whether the filesystem can be read or written.
For the read side only a scary warning is shown so far.
I'd love to about mounting too, but I fear this will break some setups
where the driver works by chance.
