logical_block_size is <= physical_block_size, and it is set as physical
block size by following Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block:

What:       /sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_granularity
Date:       May 2011
Contact:    Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>
Description:
        Devices that support discard functionality may
        internally allocate space using units that are bigger
        than the logical block size. The discard_granularity
        parameter indicates the size of the internal allocation
        unit in bytes if reported by the device. Otherwise the
        discard_granularity will be set to match the device's
        physical block size. A discard_granularity of 0 means
        that the device does not support discard functionality.
