[PATCH linux dev-5.15 3/7] tpm: tpm_tis: Verify TPM_STS register is valid after locality request

From: Amir Mizinski <amirmizi6 at gmail.com>

An invalid TPM_STS value could be used when the following two events occur:
TPM does not update TPM_STS register after a locality request (TPM_STS
Initial value = 0xFF), and a TPM_STS register read occurs in the
tpm_tis_status(chip) function call.

In probe_itpm(), a call to tpm_tis_send_data() function is made after a
request_locality() call, and the condition
("if ((status & TPM_STS_COMMAND_READY) == 0)") is checked. At this moment
if the status value is 0xFF, then it is considered, wrongly, in “ready”
state (by checking only one bit). However, at this moment the TPM is, in
fact, in "Idle" state and remains in "Idle" state because
"tpm_tis_ready(chip);" was not executed.
Waiting for the condition TPM_STS.tpmGo == 0, will ensure that the TPM
status register has the correct value.
