[PATCH v3] tpm_tis_spi: Release chip select when flow control fails

From: shaopeijie

From: Peijie Shao <shaopeijie@xxxxxxxx>

The failure paths in tpm_tis_spi_transfer() do not deactivate
chip select. Send an empty message (cs_select == 0) to overcome
this.

The patch is tested by two ways.
One way needs to touch hardware:
1. force pull MISO pin down to GND, it emulates a forever
'WAIT' timing.
2. probe cs pin by an oscilloscope.
3. load tpm_tis_spi.ko.
After loading, dmesg prints:
"probe of spi0.0 failed with error -110"
and oscilloscope shows cs pin goes high(deactivated) after
the failure. Before the patch, cs pin keeps low.

Second way is by writing a fake spi controller.
1. implement .transfer_one method, fill all rx buf with 0.
2. implement .set_cs method, print the state of cs pin.
we can see cs goes high after the failure.

Changes since v1:
Thanks to BR, Jarkko's suggestions.
1. Deactivate cs all of the failure path, not only flow control.
2. change and update comments.

Changes since v2:
Thanks to Paul?Menzel's suggestions.
1. common commit tag and correct spelling mistakes.
2. add test steps.
