Message

This adds the latest Samsung exfat driver to fs/exfat. This is an
implementation of the Microsoft exFAT specification. Previous versions
of this shipped with millions of Android phones, an a random previous
snaphot has been merged in drivers/staging/.

Compared to the sdfat driver shipped on the phones the following changes
have been made:

 - the support for vfat has been removed as that is already supported
   by fs/fat
 - driver has been renamed to exfat
 - the code has been refactored and clean up to fully integrate into
   the upstream Linux version and follow the Linux coding style
 - metadata operations like create, lookup and readdir have been further
   optimized
 - various major and minor bugs have been fixed

We plan to treat this version as the future upstream for the code base
once merged, and all new features and bug fixes will go upstream first.

For the record, I'm totally OK with this and glad to see more up-to-date code
than the codebase I was working from.
