[PATCH] Add CONFIG_VFAT_NO_CREATE_WITH_LONGNAMES option

Subject: [PATCH] Add CONFIG_VFAT_NO_CREATE_WITH_LONGNAMES option

When this option is enabled the VFAT filesystem will refuse to create
new files with long names. Accessing existing files with long names
will continue to work.

File names to be created must conform to the 8.3 format. Mixed case is
not allowed in either the prefix or the suffix.

+ bool "Disable creating files with long names"
+ depends on VFAT_FS
+ default n
+ help
+ Set this to disable support for creating files or directories with
+ names longer than 8.3 (the original DOS maximum file name length)
+ e.g. naming a file FILE1234.TXT would be allowed but creating or
+ renaming a file to FILE12345.TXT or FILE1234.TEXT would not
+ be permitted.
+
+ Case on files is only preserved if all of the prefix is the same
+ case and all of the extension is the same case. So the names
+ "FILE.txt", "file.TXT" would be case preserved, but if you create a
+ file called "File.TxT" then it will be stored on disk as "FILE.TXT".
+
+ Reading files with long file names is still permitted.
