Calling it "Cyclone" is a bit misleading.  This protocol is used by
Stratix, Cyclone and Arria devices (at least), and it probably depends
more on the generation than on the product line which exact version of
the protocol it is.

If anything it would probably be more accurate to call it a Statix
protocol, or just an Altera one.
