I adjust the minlen granularity with fat cluster unit. and FAT don't
know what's the effected  block size. it's role of user side.

It should be fatent_set_entry(&fatent, start);

No. len is adjusted at fat cluster number. it's not used byte unit.
I think it's easy to compare with fat internal units.

I hope fat peoples comment this one.
