Subject: [PATCH] Image API: add FAT32 support
Date: Thu, 26 May 2022 21:02:22 +0300
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I believe it is an important change as Raspberry PI (and I suppose some other boards) cannot boot with fat16 boot partitions. 
With this patch, "vfat" is treated as fat16 partition not to break backward-compatibility. "fat32", on the other hand, creates a fat32 partition.
