Hi Christoph,

Sorry about my first response, sincerely...
Here is my redo-ed comments to all your suggestions...

Has already fixed in the latest version, and I will resend
the whole v9 addressing all suggestions from you these days...

However it's somewhat hard to spilt the whole code prefectly
since erofs is ~7KLOC code and linux-fsdevel mailing list
have some limitation, I have spilted it in the form of features...

It could be better has a name though, because 1) erofs.mkfs uses this
definition explicitly, and we keep this on-disk definition erofs_fs.h
file up with erofs-utils.

2) For kernel use, first we have,
   datamode < EROFS_INODE_LAYOUT_MAX; and
   !erofs_inode_is_data_compressed, so there are only two mode here,
        1) EROFS_INODE_FLAT_INLINE,
        2) EROFS_INODE_FLAT_PLAIN
   if its datamode isn't EROFS_INODE_FLAT_INLINE (tail-end block packing),
   it should be EROFS_INODE_FLAT_PLAIN.

   The detailed logic in erofs_read_inode and
   erofs_map_blocks_flatmode....

The difference is just EROFS_INODE_FLAT_COMPRESSION_LEGACY doesn't
have z_erofs_map_header, so it only supports default (4k clustersize)
fixed-sized output compression rather than per-file setting, nothing
special at all...

All fields in this file are on-disk representation by design
(no logic for in-memory presentation).

There is no new or old, both can be used for the current EROFS in one image.

v2 is an exhanced on-disk inode form, it has 64 bytes,
v1 is more reduced one, which is already suitable for Android use case.
