[PATCH v2 1/2] tpm: reduce poll sleep time in tpm_transmit()

From: Nayna Jain
Date: Tue Apr 17 2018 - 09:13:11 EST


The TPM polling code in tpm_transmit sleeps in each loop iteration for
5 msecs. However, the TPM might return earlier, and thus waiting for
5 msecs adds an unnecessary delay. This patch reduces the polling sleep
time in tpm_transmit() from 5 msecs to 1 msecs.

Additionally, this patch renames TPM_POLL_SLEEP and moves it to tpm.h as
an enum value.

After this change, performance on a TPM 1.2 with an 8 byte burstcount
for 1000 extends improved from ~14 sec to ~10.7 sec.
