If it weren't, the requirements from the comment above could never be
satisfied as a power of two can only be a multiple of another power of
two. Which also means that what the code above does is in fact
equivalent to

	act_size = max_t(u64, roundup_pow_of_two(attr->length),
			 MLX5_SW_ICM_BLOCK_SIZE(dm_db->dev));

or

	act_size = roundup_pow_of_two(max_t(u64, attr->length,
					    MLX5_SW_ICM_BLOCK_SIZE(dm_db->dev));
