Don't know - a look at the source seems in order since the online help is less 
than explicit, and the wiki doesn't mention -p at all.

I can't think of a situation where I would accidentally have two freerunners 
sitting in uboot. If -l shows more than one suitable device you could just 
suggest they remove all but the one that needs programming and try again.
