Overall a nice cleanup and a couple style suggestions:

Perhaps nicer without the parens around !IS_FAT32(sbi)

sbi should be parenthesized or perhaps better these should be
static inline bool functions

This is probably nicer to use a statement expression macro
so MSDOS_SB(s) is only evaluated once or convert this to a
static inline, but it may even better to remove it altogether
instead as it seems unused anywhere.

Used once, so perhaps better inlined there.
