bad news! flash write enable is not working! :-(
In the datasheet said pins TBL# (pin 8) and WP# (7) need go to high to
enable flash erasing/writing, but enable_flash_write() on vt8235 is
not activating it (I verifyied these pins using oscilloscope).
Then enable_flash_write from vt8235 is not working on vt8237!

Sure, but I think the problem is because enable_flash_write() is not
unprotecting flash (at hardware) to erase.
Another idea to solve it?
