[PATCH v3 07/13] exfat: reduce the number of parameters for exfat_get_cluster()

From: Chi Zhiling

Date: Wed Jan 14 2026 - 07:13:43 EST


From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@xxxxxxxxxx>

Remove parameter 'fclus' and 'allow_eof':

- The fclus parameter is changed to a local variable as it is not
needed to be returned.

- The passed allow_eof parameter was always 1, remove it and the
associated error handling.
