It may be useful info, e.g. if someone wants to use ubinize.

Hm, this line is already way too long! I'd say we should try to make it
shorter, instead of longer.

Moreover, you have a /proc and a /sysfs interface to retrieve the erasesize:

What's wrong with using any of the currently available interfaces:

$ cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd0/erasesize 
131072

$ cat /proc/mtd | grep mtd0 | awk '{print $3}'
00020000

Any reason why you want the info in the kernel log?

Can be split then.

When people ask for help and send their logs, it is very handy to have
this information there.

Oops, forgot to reply. There are two reasons for this:
1) It's easier to get erasesize from users/reporters when it simply
appears in the boot log.
2) If user space breaks (e.g. because of wrong UBI image) we can't use
"cat" to read the erasesize

Hm.. OK. Those sound like good reasons.

Glad we can agree on this important issue :)

Pushed to l2-mtd.git.
