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> [ 11.202044] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address bffd3000 [ 11.209254] pgd = e463054d [ 11.211948] [bffd3000] *pgd=2fffb811, *pte=00000000, *ppte=00000000 [ 11.218202] Internal error: Oops: 7 [#1] SMP ARM [ 11.222797] Modules linked in: [ 11.225844] CPU: 1 PID: 1317 Comm: systemd-hwdb Not tainted 4.17.7-d0c45cd44a8f [ 11.235796] Hardware name: Altera SOCFPGA Arria10 [ 11.240487] PC is at __raw_writesl+0x70/0xd4 [ 11.244741] LR is at cqspi_write+0x1a0/0x2cc </snip> On a page boundary limit the number of bytes copied from the tx buffer to remain within the page.

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.
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.
