This function is large enough that it should be out of line in a .c
file.  Also I'd prefer using the Linux native types ala:

/* computes tag checksum */
static u8 udf_tag_checksum(const tag *t)
{
	u8 *data = (u8 *)t;
	u8 checksum = 0;
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < sizeof(tag); i++) {
		if (i != 4) /* position of the checksum */
			checksum += data[i];
	}

	return checksum;
}
