Hi Kyungmin,
you patch looks OK to me and I'll apply it, but with few changes
(see below).

I will add a comment here that we do not have any fundamental reason
to require this. It is just an optimization which makes it possible
to avoid costly division operations.

Probably we could introduce an ubi->min_io_mask variable even. But
this is anyway a subject of a separate change.

Bitwise & has smaller priority than ==, so I think this should be
ubi_assert((len & (ubi->min_io_size - 1)) == 0); or better
ubi_assert(!(len & (ubi->min_io_size - 1)));

Similar.
Thank you!
