The manufacturer chooses the block size.  If they've made a bad decision,
their device will presumably not sell well.  We don't need to justify
their decision in the commit message.

The fact that this change is proposed because there are device
manufacturers that want to produce devices with block sizes larger than
64 KiB would be useful information for the commit message.

Thanks,

Bart.
