[22/89] tpm_tis: add delay after aborting command

[Greg KH]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Berger <stefanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a927b8131794ee449b7f6666e7ab61301949b20f upstream.

This patch adds a delay after aborting a command. Some TPMs need
this and will not process the subsequent command correctly otherwise.

It's worth noting that a TPM randomly failing to process a command,
maps to randomly failing suspend/resume operations.
