Won't this be very confusing to the user?

The blkmap device uses a fixed block size of 512:

https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/drivers/block/blkmap.c?ref_type=heads#L393

So if I map a slice of a 4k device into a blkmap, then

    blkmap read 0x80000000 0 1

would copy 4k instead of 512 bytes from the lower device to 0x80000000,
even though the blkmap reports a block size of 512.

It seems to me that the expected behavior would be that only the first
512 bytes would be copied in the command above.
