I'm failing to see how you arrived at that conclusion.

These patches take a usable system and make it unusable:

1ea32c83c699 tpm_tis_core: Set TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ before probing for interrupts
5b359c7c4372 tpm_tis_core: Turn on the TPM before probing IRQ's

...they need to be reverted, or the regression needs to be fixed, but
asserting that you fixed something else unrelated does not help.
