Yes, the is minimal size based on that series of FPGA program patches.
How much you think we should increase?

Yup, after applying these patches:
1. https://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg313259.html -
Saving 84kIB max cluster block from excludng both fat write and EXT4 in
SPL.

2. https://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot@lists.denx.de/msg312340.html
Maximise reusable from memory pool, so the amount required for mmeory
pool can be reduced to only (1 max cluster size[0x100000] + other than
max cluster size[0x2000]), total is 0x12000.
