The current Cadence QSPI driver caused a kernel panic sporadically
when writing to QSPI. The problem was caused by writing more bytes
than needed because the QSPI operated on 4 bytes at a time.

On a page boundary limit the number of bytes copied from the tx buffer
to remain within the page.

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

Sorry, I dont understand why min() is required here since:
	mod_bytes = write_bytes % 4;
Doesn't that ensure mod_bytes < sizeof(temp)?


Yes, good point. I was being overly cautious with the memcpy buffers. I will re-spin and re-submit. Thanks!
