hello, this downgrade make my visionfive2 boot fail,

#+begin_src bash

/dev/mmcblk1p3 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!

Guix_image: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********

File system check on /dev/mmcblk1p3 failed

#+end_src
i think maybe we should use 1.47.0 and disable metadata_csum_seed by
default, like debian and gentoo?

see https://sources.debian.org/data/main/e/e2fsprogs/1.47.0-2/debian/patches/disable-metadata_csum_seed-and-orphan_file-by-default
and https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=747be80bc0594b776e233912ce517b38d5726891
