Yes, that was one idea i had. But then i found the comment on the top
of tpm_i2c_atmel:
* Teddy Reed determined the basic I2C command flow, unlike other I2C TPM
* devices the raw TCG formatted TPM command data is written via I2C and then
* raw TCG formatted TPM command data is returned via I2C.
The driver does not do anything like read the burst size and then
transfer in blocks. It reads/writes all in one go.
However, you have answered what was going to be a follow question. The
hardware is not yet set in stone. We could change the TPM. Use the
Infinion TPM with a modified get_burstcount(). And you think this will
work. Great.
Thanks
