I do not know the details, but this offset is very low and it seems
taken from other i.MX (MX5). This can overwrite your U-Boot. The
write_env() function in env_mmc.c converts the offset in a block number,
and this means you are writing at the block #2.

Because 1 Block=512 byte, can you try to move the offset to a very high
block ?

This seems too much...
