 Hi Charles,

 Sorry for the late response - better late than never :).

 Basically, it looks good to me, so

but I have some minor comments below.

 Since it is a single file, -a is a bit weird. And personally I'd make it an
ln -f instead, but that's a matter of taste.

 Maybe it's better to copy at least part of the text from that readme, because
not all of it applies (e.g. the U-Boot patch).

 If you repost, could you try with rel_socfpga-3.16_14.09.02 ? That would of
course also mean updating the kernel headers version.

 Same here.
