'len' here comes from:

do_bytes = min(info->data_size, info->chunk_size);

and

DIV_ROUND_UP(do_bytes, 4)

Where chunk_size is the size we want to read/write in each command step
(keep in mind that with extended commands we issue multiple commands, and
read/write data in chunks for each page).

And data_size is initialized at mtd->writesize (i.e. the size of a page).

Given all the flash pages I'm aware of are multiples of 32-bytes, and
given a chunk is either a quarter or half a page... I'd say it's
guaranteed to be 32-byte multiple, but perhaps it's a good idea to enforce it.
