I would be surprised if either is supported - my Parallella ships:
U-Boot 2012.10-00003-g792c31c (Jan 03 2014 - 12:24:08)
and upstream U-Boot still doesn't have support for the Parallella.

It's not used, it was added on reviewers' request at the time. Feel free
to drop. But again, we are bound for patch conflict here.
