disk: part_dos: don't claim whole-disk FAT filesystems
Logically, a disk that contains a raw FAT filesystem does not in fact have a partition table. However, test_part_dos() was claiming that such disks did in fact have a DOS-style partition table. This caused get_device_and_partition() not to return a whole-disk disk_partition_t, since part_type != PART_TYPE_UNKNOWN. part_dos.c's print_partition_extended() detected the raw FAT filesystem condition and printed a fake partition table that encompassed the whole disk. However, part_dos.c's get_partition_info_extended() did not return any valid partitions in this case. This combination caused get_device_and_partition() not to find any valid partitions, and hence to return an error. Fix test_part_dos() not to claim that raw FAT filesystems are DOS partition tables. In turn, this causes get_device_and_partition() to return a whole-disk disk_partition_t, and hence the following commands work: fatls mmc 0 / fatls mmc 0:auto / An alternative would be to modify print_partition_extended() to detect raw FAT filesystems, just like print_partition_extended() does, and to return a fake partition in this case. However, this seems logically incorrect, and also duplicates code, since get_device_and_partition() falls back to returning a whole-disk partition when there is no partition table on the device.
