Can you explain the significance of the 512KB size? I've seen devices report 512KB
erase size, although measurements clearly showed an erase block size of 8MB and I
do not understand this discprepancy.

Right now, we always send discards of 1MB clusters to the device, which does what
you want, although I'm not sure if those clusters are naturally aligned to the start
of the partition. Obviously this also requires aligning the start of the partition
to the erase block size, but most devices should already get that right nowadays.
