Something in this series seems to break basic TPM communication for me.

For TPM2.0s the probe command fails, causing them to be misdetected as 
TPM1.2s:

---
tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: tpm_send: error -5
tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x1A, rev-id 22)
tpm tpm0: A TPM error (30) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts
---
tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: tpm_send: error -5
tpm_tis_spi spi0.1: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x1B, rev-id 22)
tpm tpm0: A TPM error (30) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts
---

And for something that actually is a TPM1.2 it fails in a similar way:

---
tpm_i2c_infineon 1-0020: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x1A)
tpm tpm0: A TPM error (-14) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts
---
tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: tpm_send: error -5
tpm_tis_spi spi0.1: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x1B, rev-id 16)
tpm tpm0: A TPM error (-14) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts
tpm_tis_spi: probe of spi0.1 failed with error -14
---

I see this problem across my entire range of TPM devices and test 
platforms. Any idea what could be wrong here?
