The upper defines need to reside in the board-specific code for tqm as well as for other boards
utilizing such scheme (see platforms/85xx/mpc85xx_ads_common.h for instance).

Fix for FCC3_MEM_OFFSET was part of my patch series (as a typo fix), I'll submit it separately since 
it's a notable bugfix should be in the mainstream.
