[PATCH v2 07/11] spi: cadence-qspi: add no-IRQ mode to indirect reads

Support reads through polling, without any IRQ. The main reason is
performance; profiling shows that the first IRQ comes quickly on our
specific hardware. Once this IRQ arrives, we poll until all data is
retrieved. Avoid initial sleep to reduce IRQ count.

Hide this behavior behind a quirk flag.

This is confirmed through micro-benchmarks, but also end-to-end
performance tests. Mobileye EyeQ5, octal flash, reading 235M on a UBIFS
filesystem:
- No optimizations, ~10.34s, ~22.7 MB/s, 199230 IRQs
- CQSPI_SLOW_SRAM, ~10.34s, ~22.7 MB/s, 70284 IRQs
- CQSPI_RD_NO_IRQ, ~9.37s, ~25.1 MB/s, 521 IRQs
