Using this function while read/write data resulted in aborted operation.
After investigating according to TCG TPM Profile (PTP) Specifications,
i found cancel should happen only if TPM_STS.commandReady bit is lit and
couldn't find a case when the current condition is valid.
Also only cmdReady bit need to be compared instead of the full lower status
register byte.

We don't care about spec's. We care about hardware and not all hardware
follows specifications.

Please fix the exact thing you want to fix (and please provide a fixes
tag).

I edit the TPM main spec, not the PTP. As I discover TPMs that don't meet the spec, or where the spec has changed over time, I add informative comments to guide developers.

If you know of TPM hardware that does not meet the PTP specification, let me know the specifics. I can bring it to the PTP work group and try to get comments added.

I do not need to know the TPM vendor. That information would not go into the specification anyway.
