That sounds like a fairly serious bug, and this looks like a 2.6.31
patch.

Jan's build_bug_on-fix-it-and-a-couple-of-bogus-uses-of-it.patch (in
-mm) simply removes the bogus BUILD_BUG_ON(). I think we might as well
do that within the context of your patch.

So I end up with the below, which I propose for 2.6.31:



From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm testing the tpm_tis low level driver with a winbond WPCT200:

$ cat caps
Manufacturer: 0x57454300
TCG version: 1.2
Firmware version: 2.16

and noted that tpm_pcr_read for the pcrs sysfile file does not function. 
tpm_tis_recv returned with an error because the expected reply size was
set to 14 (the request size) and the chip returned 30 bytes.

The TCG spec says the reply size is supposed to be 30 bytes.

The length input to transmit_cmd is the size of the reply, not of the
request.  It should be 30 for READ_PCR.

With this change my chip reports all 23 pcrs.

Also, the BUILD_BUG_ON() is just wrong - it's testing a value which isn't
a compile-time constant.  Simply remove that assertion.
