It's been almost a month and have not heard any suggestions from anyone..
Can Freescale folks on the list suggest some reg's or memory location where boot count value can be saved across reboots.
It's quite likely that no such thing exists (other than flash/EEPROM/etc.), that you can rely on. If it does exist, it's most likely an accident that few if any people know about (especially on a mailing list populated by people who do software, not hardware). I forwarded your mail to an internal Freescale list a couple days ago (also software -- the hardware people don't have mailing lists that I know of), and got no responses.
Note that this time of year a lot of people are out on vacation, so all types of inquiries are less likely to be answered promptly, especially in a forum such as this which is not an official support channel.
You could try e-mailing support@freescale.com.
