OK I've been able to bisect the problem and the bad commit is:

e6aef069b6e97790cb127d5eeb86ae9ff0b7b0e3 is the first bad commit

     tpm_tis: convert to using locality callbacks

     This patch converts tpm_tis to use of the new tpm class ops
     request_locality, and relinquish_locality.

     With the move to using the callbacks, release_locality is changed so
     that we now release the locality even if there is no request pending.

     This required some changes to the tpm_tis_core_init code path to
     make sure locality is requested when needed:

       - tpm2_probe code path will end up calling request/release through
         callbacks, so request_locality prior to tpm2_probe not needed.

       - probe_itpm makes calls to tpm_tis_send_data which no longer calls
         request_locality, so add request_locality prior to tpm_tis_send_data
         calls. Also drop release_locality call in middleof probe_itpm, and
         keep locality until release_locality called at end of probe_itpm.

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?

Alexander

Getting some caffeine in me, and starting to take a look. Adding
Jarkko as well since this might involve the general locality changes.

Laurent, if I send you a patch with some debugging code added, would
you be able to run it on that system? I wasn't running into issues
on the system I had with a 1.2 device, but I no longer have access
to it. I'll see if I can find one in our labs and reproduce it there.
