The first question is whether or not you included the FPGA bridge modules/drivers in your kernel. There are quite a few Altera drivers hidden in different places in the kernel make config process that can be turned on. Other then that, I can't think of what might be going on. This really just sounds like a missing driver.

Did you pull from the main-line kernel or from Altera's linux-socfpga git repository?
