So the sympton is that it from time to time works and time to time
fails.

Can't recall whether you had interrupts enabled or disabled for the
TPM chip (depending on whether you use IRQs or polling you'd have
to tweak the code from a different place), but you could tweak
directly the TPM2_DURATION_* constants in drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h:

enum tpm2_timeouts {
	TPM2_TIMEOUT_A          =    750,
	TPM2_TIMEOUT_B          =   2000,
	TPM2_TIMEOUT_C          =    200,
	TPM2_TIMEOUT_D          =     30,
	TPM2_DURATION_SHORT     =     20,
	TPM2_DURATION_MEDIUM    =    750,
	TPM2_DURATION_LONG      =   2000,
	TPM2_DURATION_LONG_LONG = 300000,
	TPM2_DURATION_DEFAULT   = 120000,
};

Set SHORT, LONG and MEDIUM to lets say 3000 and lets see if that
makes a difference or not.
