Two years ago, OGAWA Hirofumi removed some ugly code and
added a few simple tests to the FAT filesystem code,
intended to avoid recognizing non-FAT as FAT (for people who
fail to specify rootfstype=, forcing the kernel to guess).

That worked fairly well, until this year.

I have now seen a thread in Czech and a report from Holland that
involved the "FAT: bogus sectors-per-track value" error message.

The patch below removes this test again. The advantage is that
some real-life FAT filesystems can be mounted again.

The disadvantage that more non-FAT fss will be accepted as FAT.

Brouwer gave me seems to work".
