+Subject: [PATCH][RFC] mtd: bcm47xxpart: lower minimal blocksize to 4Ki (from
+ 64Ki)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Some devices like Netgear WNR1000v3 or WGR614v10 have partitions aligned
+to 0x1000. Using bigger blocksize stopped us from detecting some parts.

+---
+Most of supported devices use flashes with erasesize 0x10000 (64Ki), so
+this change shouldn't affect them (no regressions expected).
+Any objections?
