In tpm_del_char_device() make sure that chip->ops is still valid. This check is needed since in case of a system shutdown tpm_class_shutdown() has already been called and set chip->ops to NULL. This leads to a NULL pointer access as soon as tpm_del_char_device() tries to access chip->ops in case of TPM 2.
