1MB, previously there was no such check and it was added to fix
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5016
and those 16MB seems to be just a number big enough...

Btw, we are using rauc and casync to update firmware, so device gets
rebooted once done - but casync is storage hungry as well, so data
partition is sacrificed for update purposes and casync's TMP is set
to point there; all logged data are downloaded and erased before
firmware update begins.
