Let me, recheck but it should be same value just converted to msecs.

I've tried to explain it in the commit message but apparently has failed. 

We have a default or undefined which should be the same as it was unless I did some silly mistake in conversion to msecs (will check), ass all others are in msecs.
It was 2 min = 2 * 60 * HZ (in jiffies) which would be msecs_to_jiffies(2 * 60 * 1000 = 120000) 
TPM2_DURATION_DEFAULT   = 120000

Then we have a new one which is 3 min just for key generation (Prime number generation is heavy liffting)

I believe I've removed it next patch, I didn’t want do too much in this one.

Thanks
