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, an 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.
Request testing of this patch on other platforms. This was tested
on the Intel Arria10 SoCFPGA DevKit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
