Yeah, I'd suspect that binwalk output to be junk from the flash tripping heuristics: "MySQL database" is one of those heuristics that a lot of random binary files trip spuriously for who knows what reason.
Practically every other read word is `10 00 10 00` which is definitely strange, but also it's hard to judge if that's wrong without looking at the dump more IMO.

Yeah, there's no way it's running MySQl. I'd expect to see a CPIO archive, a UBoot copyright string, or something in that wheelhouse at the top of binwalk given that it's the NOR flash to a mediatek soc.
