Hmm.. maybe we make this dependent on CONFIG_QE ?

Yes, we should do this.

Thats why you could define it with CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR, where
exactly this 8 bytes are.

I thought to make it as on 82xx (using parameter Ram of SCC1), because
UCC5 should be compatible to the SCC1 see 8360ERM.pdf Table 19-11 on
page 19-20. But on the 8360, after reset, the complete parameter RAM is
initialized with 0 ... so that didn't work. Other places I couldn't
found for this feature :-(
