According to the QUICC Engine Reference Manual (Table 4-30), the number of snums used for 
" MPC8306/MPC8306S/MPC8309" should be 14 instead of 28, so maybe we should assign "fsl,qe-num-snums = 14"
And define a new snum_init_14 array, meanwhile, modify the minimum value of "num_of_snums" to 14 in function "qe_get_num_of_snums"
(I mean: " if ((num_of_snums < 14) || (num_of_snums > QE_NUM_OF_SNUM)) {")
