I've looked again at the code in question, but could not find anything that is 
obviously wrong there. Locality is now requested/released at slightly different 
points in the process than before, but that's it. It does not seem to cause 
problems with the majority of TPMs, since you are the first to report any, so 
maybe it is a quirk that only affects this device.

Perhaps Jerry can help, since this is his change?
