Darren Hart 2175842116 bootimg: Do not force FAT32 on all images, it violates the FAT specification

Fixes [YOCTO #1940]

do_bootimg was performing the FAT overhead calculations assuming FAT32 and then
forcing the use of FAT32 with "-F 32" to mkdosfs. The FAT specification is clear
on cluster count being the determining factor for FAT size (even if the fs
string is set to FAT32, go figure). Syslinux follows this spec, and rightly so,
resulting in a failure on core-image-minimal:

	syslinux: zero FAT sectors (FAT12/16)

Drop the "-F 32" from mkdosfs to allow it to select the appropriate FAT size
based on cluster count. Leave the FAT overhead calculation in FAT32. This will
result in a little extra padding for really small images, but not enough extra
to justify recalculating for FAT12 and FAT16.

Tested with a core-image-minimal build for atom-pc. do_bootimg completed
successfully, and the resulting image was FAT16.

README

Poky

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation

OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
