Variable-sized array on the kernel-stack? That can easily explode in
your hands. Unless you are _very_ sure about the bounds, you should
do an explicit kmalloc. And if you were that sure, you could just as
well have an array with fixed size.
sbi->fats has a range of 2 to 4, but I suppose that might concievably
change if someone decides they want a fat filesystem with a lot of
backup FATs and modifies some other parts of the driver to support
that. I'll change it to use kmalloc.

Trailing whitespace in those lines.
..... oops. I'll fix that.
