Done so now, could reproduce.

But the OSPIs are definitely different. EVM reports

spi-nor spi0.0: mt35xu512aba (65536 Kbytes)

with 4K erase size. Our our board, we have

spi-nor spi7.0: w25q128 (16384 Kbytes)

with 64K erase size.

Here is some extract of the hex-diffs between out.bin and out2.bin (the 
latter being the good one):
