[PATCH v5 01/10] tpm, tpm_tis: Avoid cache incoherency in test for interrupts

[LinoSanfilippo@gmx.de]

From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@kunbus.com>

The interrupt handler that sets the boolean variable irq_tested may run on
another CPU as the thread that checks irq_tested as part of the irq test in
tmp_tis_send().

Since nothing guarantees cache coherency between CPUs for unsynchronized
accesses to boolean variables the testing thread might not perceive the
value change done in the interrupt handler.

Avoid this issue by using a bitfield instead of a boolean variable and by
accessing this field with the bit manipulating functions that provide cache
coherency.
