The interrupt handler uses tpm_tis_read32() and tpm_tis_write32() to access the interrupt status register. In case of SPI those accesses are done with the spi_bus_lock mutex held. This means that the status register cannot be read or written in interrupt context. For this reason request a threaded interrupt handler so that the required accesses can be done in process context.
