Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add CONFIG_VFAT_NO_CREATE_WITH_LONGNAMES option

Hi Vimal,

The previous patch is fine, although as several people pointed out it
lacked a public explanation of why it is needed. We are working on
fixing that. We are also working towards the release of a new patch
that has some advantages in terms of what functionality is lost when
the patch is enabled.

 > Can I take this patch for as of now?

yes, there are no issues with the patch we sent that would prevent
anyone using it, it just lacks an explanation and loses more
functionality than is strictly necessary.

Cheers, Tridge
