From: Carmeli Tamir <carmeli.tamir@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: fat: remove FAT_FIRST_ENT macro The comment edited in this patch was the only reference to the FAT_FIRST_ENT macro, which is not used anymore. Moreover, the commented line of code does not compile with the current code. Since the FAT_FIRST_ENT macro checks the FAT variant in a way that the patch series changes, I removed it, and instead wrote a clear explanation of what was checked. I verified that the changed comment is correct according to Microsoft FAT spec, search for "BPB_Media" in the following references: 1. Microsoft FAT specification 2005 (http://read.pudn.com/downloads77/ebook/294884/FAT32%20Spec%20%28SDA%20Contribution%29.pdf). Search for 'volume label'. 2. Microsoft Extensible Firmware Initiative, FAT32 File System Specification (https://staff.washington.edu/dittrich/misc/fatgen103.pdf). Search for 'volume label'.
