Hi Igor,

I have already posted query in NXP Community. Here's thread: https://community.nxp.com/message/1270693

I received suggestion to post in u-boot mailing list, because the query is specific to u-boot booting counter mechanism and commands. 
Please suggest, if any insight related to mechanism in question (ignoring outdated u-boot version).

Thank you,
Pratik Rajyaguru

It's unlikely that someone can help you with NXP U-Boot fork here (especially with pretty outdated one).
It's better to post these questions here in https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.nxp.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cpratik.rajyaguru%40einfochips.com%7Cf99a59bbf2674a101b1608d7c4ead0b6%7C0beb0c359cbb4feb99e5589e415c7944%7C1%7C0%7C637194385109946909&sdata=BUTmx5xwl1omTy3dHuNo0vsgvUT9OklnakqGlY1phVw%3D&reserved=0.
