Successful with QNAP TS-112P. The script works without any problems and I was able to install Bullseye with the new kernel.
Thanks for your work.

------------------------------------------------------------
    !!!! Warning !!!!

    Everything is fine up to now.
    Next steps will write the flash and may be subject to failures.

    It is highly recommended to perform a MTD backup and save the files
    somewhere (USB device, PC)

        cat /dev/mtd0 > /tmp/mtd0.uboot.backup
        cat /dev/mtd1 > /tmp/mtd1.kernel.backup
        cat /dev/mtd2 > /tmp/mtd2.rootfs1.backup
        cat /dev/mtd3 > /tmp/mtd3.rootfs2.backup
        cat /dev/mtd4 > /tmp/mtd4.uboot-config.backup
        cat /dev/mtd5 > /tmp/mtd5.nas-config.backup
        fw_printenv -c /tmp/fw_env.config  > /tmp/uboot_config.backup.txt
        cd /tmp
        tar cvzf mtd_backup.tgz mtd?.*.backup uboot_config.backup.txt

        # now use scp / sftp to push/pull mtd_backup.tgz on another PC.

    Be sure you will not cut the power until the end of operations.
    In case of failure, you way need to recover with a Serial Console
    to run U-boot commands

Continue and flash the new partitions ? (y/N)
Note: You are using --dry-run option. No flash operations will be performed if you answer 'y'.
y

[Flash 'NAS config' partition content (ie 'NAS config' + head of Kernel) (still a 'safe' op)]
(Dry run)
+ flashcp -v /tmp/mtd_nas_config.new /dev/mtd5

[Change U-boot config with new values)]
(Dry run)
+ fw_setenv -c /tmp/fw_env.config -s /tmp/fw_setenv.script

[Flash tail of the kernel in old 'Kernel' Partition]
(Dry run)
+ flashcp -v /tmp/mtd_kernel.tail /dev/mtd1

[Make a copy of /tmp/fw_env.config into /etc/fw_env.config (if not already existing)]
------------------------------------------------------------

    SUCCESS.

    Now, REBOOT !

    Notes:
    - DO NOT PERFORM A KERNEL OR SYSTEM UPDATE before the next reboot !...
      so don't wait too long.
    - Consider compressing initrd with 'xz' to optimize the size with:

        echo "COMPRESS=xz" > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compress
