The problem with "v1" was that the message was printed once, but the
dump_stack() was called however many times. And ratelimited stuff is
afaik only for printk's, there's no ratelimited dump_stack().

What you're saying makes sense tho. It would be sane behaviour to do
this once-per-device, instead of just once.

Since struct tpm_chip already has a bitmask flags, I'll just add a
TPM_CHIP_FLAG_INVALID_STATUS, and:

        if (test_and_set_bit(TPM_CHIP_FLAG_INVALID_STATUS, &chip->flags)) {
                /* ... */

Thank you.
