My initial plan was actually to do something similar, but if the probe code
is actually ever fixed to work as intended again then this will lead to a
double free as then the IRQ-test path of tpm_tis_send() will have called
disable_interrupts() which already calls devm_free_irq().

You could check for chip->irq != 0 here to avoid that.

But it all is rather messy, which is why I went with the "#if 0" approach
in my patch.

Also we will currently ALWAYS hit the "TPM interrupt not working, polling instead"
error because the TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ never gets set. So if we are going to do an
interim fix (and we should) we should really also silence that error.

Hans

p.s.

I'm currently in contact with Lenovo trying to figure out what is going on
here with the always firing IRQ on the X1 8th gen, I guess the fix for that
might also help with the T490 issue.
