Arguably the BIOS should have completed the selftest - this stuff generally only exists to support embedded. I don't like the idea of EAGAIN, that just expose all our users to this mess. I would support making transmit_cmd genericly wait and retry if the TPM insists we need to wait for selftest to complete the specific command though. Jason
