I just noticed that the units in the XML file are passed directly to
ubinize. So with kiB we see:
bad size specifier: "kiB" - should be 'KiB', 'MiB' or 'GiB'
ubinize: error!: bad physical eraseblock size: "128kiB"
This means kiB for elbe is currently broken anyway so my minor schema
change should not affect any users.
Although my patch addresses this particular issue, I would prefer the
full IEC 80000-13 correction as posted recently by Bene.
