    mtd: spi-nor: Fix Cadence QSPI page fault kernel panic · 4b4c6714

    [ Upstream commit a6a66f80 ]
    
    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.
