From: Thor Thayer <thor.thayer at linux.intel.com>

The current Cadence QSPI driver caused a kernel panic when loading
a Root Filesystem from QSPI. The problem was caused by reading more
bytes than needed because the QSPI operated on 4 bytes at a time.
<snip>
[    7.947754] spi_nor_read[1048]:from 0x037cad74, len 1 [bfe07fff]
[    7.956247] cqspi_read[910]:offset 0x58502516, buffer=bfe07fff
[    7.956247]
[    7.966046] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual
address bfe08002
[    7.973239] pgd = eebfc000
[    7.975931] [bfe08002] *pgd=2fffb811, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000
</snip>
Notice above how only 1 byte needed to be read but by reading 4 bytes
into the end of a mapped page, a unrecoverable page fault occurred.

This patch uses a temporary buffer to hold the 4 bytes read and then
copies only the bytes required into the buffer. A min() function is
used to limit the length to prevent buffer overflows.

Similar changes were made for the write routine.
