It is polled after the timer expires in tpm_tis_send_data, but not in 
tpm_tis_send, and the return value is used in tpm_tis_send...

...so with the other patch applied too, the output is:
[    1.464217] tpm_tis 00:08: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0xB, rev-id 16)
[    3.570836] tpm_tis 00:08: tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error -62
[    3.660885] tpm_tis 00:08: [Firmware Bug]: TPM interrupt not working, polling instead

Much better! Any thoughts before I proceed?
