No fixes tag.
The short summary scopes now the whole TPM subsystem ("tpm:"), but the fix
is targetted *only* for tpm_tis_spi. How about "tpm, tpm_tis_spi: Allow to
sleep in the interrupt handler"?
This also changes the semantics tpm_tis_*, not just tpm_tis_spi, which is
not acceptable. We cannot backport a fix like this.
Probably you should just add a parameter to tpm_tis_core_init() to hint
that threaded IRQ is required, and then only conditionally do so.
