Um,
I am not sure what you want to do this for in a _bootloader_ - sure U-Boot gets big but its still no operating system :) Honestly, I don't understand the use for it, may be you can shed some more light on this.
It seems that as per the FIPS requirement any software that is installed on the device should have a signature and the signature should be verified by the device. Since Boot Loader is used occasionally to download the system files, I was investigating about the certificate support.

U-Boot is not intended or designed to support any FIPS-approved mode of operation.
