You need to match for a board specific compatible here because this
function shall be executed for this board only, not for other boards.
This means you have to add a board specific compatible to the device
tree.

The kernel matches for "altr,socfpga". You can add as many compatibles
before that as you like, just like the "altr,socfpga-cyclone5" string
which is present already and ignored by the kernel.
