Hi, Disclaimer: I know nothing about this arch or this hw, however this CONFIG will make the entire flash storage significantly slower. Have you considered CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_VARIABLE_ERASE ? It allows writing to partitions that do not fit a 64K EB by selectively using 4K EB.

I will try that out and come back with result.

Enable the CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR_USE_4K_SECTORS kernel option to allow for U-Boot environment writing. This might be hiding a problem somewhere else, since the w25q128fw chip supports 32K erases, still this change makes it much easier to switch the GL-MV1000 boot media without an UART cable connection.
