Ok, still that name is weird, but that's matter of taste.

Then it would be better to specify those partitions, as some users could simply
overwrite this thinking that's unoccupied space.

But with this patch, the image has in name "emmc" only, how would users know that
they can use it for SD card? If both images are interchangable You have to extend
commit message with instuctions, that single image can be used on both mediums
and how to use them (the SD card is rather obvious, but more explanation is
needed for the eMMC).
Crucial question is left unanswered: Does the U-Boot by default boot OpenWrt from
eMMC only or eMMC and SD card? And if boot from both, which is booted first?

> --->2,Currently,The uboot does not support 'firmware-gzip' upgrades .So it can not recover system via uboot, when the user's EMMC firmware fails to boot.

Ok.

> --->3,Could i create another file(gl-mv1000.mk) to include 'Default-arm64-emmc'?

No, please don't. You can always override IMAGES variable and add multiple IMAGE recipes in device
definition, there is no reason to add a common stub used ONLY by one device.
