The 'l_rc' declaration causes NAK as I've stated before.

Why don't you just make a helper function:

static void tpm_relinquish_locality(struct tpm_chip *chip)
{
	int rc;

	if (!chip->ops->relinquish_locality)
		return 0;

	rc = chip->ops->relinquish_locality(chip);
	if (rc)
		dev_err(&chip->dev, "%s: error %d\n", __func__, rc);

	chip->locality = -1;
}

Then the original code would be simply:

if (need_locality)
	tpm_relinquish_locality(chip);
