Where is 2/2 patch ?

The commit message should say "socfpga: Update README with handoff
generation instructions", the rest is just fluff . And btw. those
instructions came from my internal notes ;-)

The body should contain a description of what this patch adds, not where
this came from.

I think the address is mangled, it's missing the @ ...

Extra spaces at the end not needed, drop this hunk.

Works in Quartus 16.1 too, so we can reword this as "Altera Quartus 14.0
or newer" .

You should replace all the DENX_MCV_reference_ stuff with "Quartus
project direcory"

Select the Quartus project .qpf file ...

Open the qsys system file .qsys ...

This may take a while, so wait.

Drop this, the scripts are not available.

This path points to Quartus embedded command shell directory, so update
it to PATH=/path/to/Altera/Quartus/14.0/embedded/ or something.

Extra colon, drop it. Also, I think qts-filter was update to support
more options....

argument instead of arg?

This example should use some more generic board, like CV SoCDK
