am struggling to find a suitable register in the P2020. The file arch/powerpc/lib/bootcount.c list a few locations that work with other PowerPC chips, but I can't find any of those registers in the P2020 documentation.

Me too on finding such a register.

If you don't have such registers, a bit of reserved SDRAM might be a solution. That already implemented for some boards. See bootcount_store() and bootcount_load() in:

board/keymile/km_arm/km_arm.c

This "RAM bootcount driver" will be moved to a common location by the bootcount consolidation patches that are pending.
