Instead of repeatedly calling tpm_chip_start/tpm_chip_stop when
issuing commands to the tpm during initialization, just reserve the
chip after wait_startup, and release it when we are ready to call
tpm_chip_register.

I did some initial testing with both a 1.2 device and a 2.0 device here.
Christian, can you verify that this still solves your timeouts problem
you were seeing? Dan, can you try this on the internal system with
the interrupt issues? I will see if I can get the t490s owner to run
it as well.

Thanks,
Jerry
