[PATCH v3 06/11] exfat: add data_start_bytes and exfat_cluster_to_phys() helper
From: Namjae Jeon
Date: Wed May 13 2026 - 07:23:45 EST
This caches the data area start offset in bytes (data_start_bytes)
and introduces a helper function exfat_cluster_to_phys() to compute
the physical byte position of a given cluster.
