From: Nayna Jain <nayna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The TPM burstcount status indicates the number of bytes that can be sent to the TPM without causing bus wait states. Effectively, it is the number of empty bytes in the command FIFO. This patch optimizes the tpm_tis_send_data() function by checking the burstcount only once. And if the burstcount is valid, it writes all the bytes at once, permitting wait state. After this change, performance on a TPM 1.2 with an 8 byte burstcount for 1000 extends improved from ~41sec to ~14sec.
