There is no dedicated register to poll as such.

According to TRM:
"Wait for couple of cycles of QSPI_REF_CLK(functional clock of QSPI
@384MHz) until CQSPI_REG_INDIRECTWR[0] bit is internally synchronized by
the QSPI module before writing to flash".

So, a few ns(~6ns @384MHz) delay is needed (or accessing a QSPI module
register should be sufficient as it will take more than 2 clock cycles).
I believe this delay is specific to TI K2G SoC and maybe needs to be
tied to the binding.
