I suggest reading ISO/IEC 80000-13:2008.
FWIW I like how truncate(1) does it:
Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000). Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.
Which leaves the awkward units alone, and reserves the most convenient suffixes for natural units.
We're currently not at all consistent in Kconfig text, and I didn't check doc/ (where I suspect Heinrich has been enforcing consistency).
I do feel like the truncate(1) method is a good compromise.
Yes I agree.
