Right, I have updated my erase test. Below are logs for my erase test
(from a give offset),

root@smarc-rzg2l:~# flashcp -v sample.bin /dev/mtd1
Erasing blocks: 1024/1024 (100%)
Writing data: 4096k/4096k (100%)
Verifying data: 4096k/4096k (100%)
root@smarc-rzg2l:~# flash_erase /dev/mtd1 4096 1
Erasing 4 Kibyte @ 1000 -- 100 % complete
