[PATCH] tpm, tpm_tis: Fix timeout handling when waiting for TPM status
From: Jonathan McDowell
Date: Wed Mar 05 2025 - 05:06:18 EST
From: Jonathan McDowell <noodles@xxxxxxxx>
The change to only use interrupts to handle supported status changes,
then switch to polling for the rest, inverted the status test and sleep
such that we can end up sleeping beyond our timeout and not actually
checking the status. This can result in spurious TPM timeouts,
especially on a more loaded system. Fix by switching the order back so
we sleep *then* check. We've done a up front check when we enter the
function so this won't cause an additional delay when the status is
already what we're looking for.
