First fat_readdir() exits by zero dir entry, but dir pos is updated to next position, then second fat_readdir() continue with previous dir pos and will read beyond zero dir entry. So, maybe, we are better move down the zero dir entry handling into fat_get_entry(), instead of copying several places. But like you know, we would like to skip the zero dir entry only if read/search operation. Maybe, adding flag to fat_get_entry() and use it, or adding small wrapper? And in read/search case, we should not update *pos if hit the zero dir entry. I'm not testing the above actually though, we would need such.
