I set this flag for the TIS because it wasn't set anywhere else. 
tpm_tis_send() wouldn't set the flag but go via the path:

if (!(chip->flags & TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ) || priv->irq_tested)

         return tpm_tis_send_main(chip, buf, len);

the only other line for the TIS to set the IRQ flag was in the same 
function further below, though that wouldn't be reached due to the above:

[...]

priv->irq = irq;

chip->flags |= TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ;
