One use case I see is flashing UBI images faster. With some tweaks, the
ubiformat utility could exploit the mutiblock-erase feature (it needs to
erase the mtd partition before flashing).

Well, to be generic, it would be also nice to have a sysfs file telling
the maximum multi-block erase size. However, it is not strictly
necessary.
