The block layer can't support a block size larger than
page size yet. And a block size that's too small or
not a power of two won't work either. If a misconfigured
device presents an invalid block size in configuration space,
it will result in the kernel crash something like below:
[ 506.154324] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

So let's use a block layer helper to validate the block size.
