There are large number of QSPI irqs that fire during boot/init and later
on every suspend/resume.
This could be made faster by doing DMA instead of PIO.
Below is comparison for number of interrupts raised in 2 acenarios...
Boot up and stabilise
Suspend/Resume

Sequence   PIO    DMA
=======================
Boot-up    69088  19284
S/R        5066   3430

We have not made measurements but the change is expected to improve 
performance.

Testing revealed no regressions.
