I'm celebrating mainline u-boot on my target :-).

That will result in:

  CC      arch/arm/lib/eabi_compat.o
scripts/Makefile.build:64:
/home/pavel/wagabuibui/u-boot/board/ebv/socfpga/Makefile: No such file
or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`/home/pavel/wagabuibui/u-boot/board/ebv/socfpga/Makefile'.  Stop.

...and I don't think we want to do board/{altera,ebv} symlink. Are
there any other options? Or is "altera" in the boards file simply
acceptable?

Thanks,
									Pavel
