[PATCH] mtd: spi-nor: Fix Cadence QSPI page fault kernel panic
From: thor . thayer
Date: Tue Nov 13 2018 - 12:30:05 EST
From: Thor Thayer <thor.thayer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
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.

</snip>
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.
