Have you checked if CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR address is stable over
reset? May someone overwrites it...

I had it working on imx6ull

CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_BOOTLIMIT=3
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR=0x20d8024
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_SINGLEWORD=y
CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT=y

I did not needed

but may because I have an older base...

Hmm.. your register seems fine ... I read in RM:
"""
For backward compatibility with earlier
versions of SNVS LPGPR0 is aliased at its original offset of 68h.The GPR will be
automatically zeroized when a tamper event occurs, unless GPR zeroization is disabled
via the GPR_Z_DIS bit in the LP Control Register.
"""

May try 0x20b00090 ... just a try...

May tamper event occurs? And the register is in "low power domain" ... may
there is a problem... so no real idea here from my side, just speculation...

bye,
Heiko
