You're just pushing it slowly further. That's bogus:
1) ubootenv is at weird offset ... why such a weird number? Also, what about
redund. env?
2) u-boot itself is at weird offset ... just set it to some normal location and
let it be eg. up to 512kb big, to make sure you don't need to change it in the
future.
3) Why is env at offset 0x4200 ... is the bootstrap exactly so big ? what about
erasing nor, you can't make sure you won't overwrite those 0x200 bytes safely
too, right ?
=> I'd do the layout like this:
0x00000 - bootstrap
0x05000 - u-boot (align to block size)
0x85000 - env (~16kb)
0x89000 - env redund
< note, here's some space, so align as necessary >
0x90000 - kernel
It wastes a bit, but it's ready for future growth
