Hi All!

This patchset enables support for DFU over USB protocol on Raspberry Pi4
board. The board has DWC2 UDC controller connected to the USB-C power
connector. Enabling DFU on it, make the u-boot development much more
convenient, as one no longer needs to swap SD-card between RPi4 board and
host machine to update the u-boot binary.

Patches are based on current 'master' u-boot branch. They were tested on
the 2019-07-10-raspbian-buster-lite.img sd-card image with the following
lines added to config.txt:
dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=peripheral
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=spi=on
enable_uart=1
uart_2ndstage=1
kernel=u-boot.bin

To enable DFU, one has to enter follwing command:
# dfu 0 mmc 0

During the development of this feature I've encountered a serious bugs
in FAT write code. Over-writing discontiguous files always caused serious
filesystem corruption. This was especially anoying, because the system
environment is kept on FAT volume in uboot.env file, so 'saveenv'
basically corrupted the boot partiting on the second call. Another bunch
of the issues in the FAT write code has been revealed while removing
predefined file size limit in DFU MMC code and then running sandbox
tests.

I hope that my fixes for FAT code will be helpful for non-RPi users too.
