You don't need to repeat the subject here.

This isn't too descriptive. What you probably mean is that we assume the
erase size is always larger than PAGE_SIZE.

You never guaranteed that erase_size is a power of two, so this doesn't
necessarily mask the way you'd like...

But also, why is this even necessary? I see that we should already have
errored out if this was actually significant, since we have above:

	if ((long)dev->blkdev->bd_inode->i_size % erase_size) {
		pr_err("erasesize must be a divisor of device size\n");
		goto err_free_block2mtd;
	}
