However, from this trace it's easy to deduce that tpm2_del_space() didn't get converted to the get/put of the chip ops ... it's still trying to do its own half arsed thing with tpm_chip_start() and the mutex. So isn't a much simpler fix simply to convert it as below? compile tested only, but if you can test it out I'll send a proper patch.
