Where is the cover letter? Please send separate patches if they are
unrelated *or* add a cover letter that describes what they do as a
whole.

I will not review the next version if it does not have cover letter
describing the high level change and containing the change log.

This is starting to rotten to become unmaintainable.

Here is what I suggest to move forward:

* Have essentially two duration types:
  1. Default
  2. Long
  'default' is the old long duration i.e. two seconds. 'long' is a

We should probably have two durations:

enum tpm_duration {
	TPM_DURATION_DEFAULT = 2000,
	TPM_DURATION_LONG = 300000,
};

These would be both for TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0. Instead of having
table for every ordinal there should be a small tables describing
commands that require long timeout.

NAK for this change.
