On my embedded system I use this tpm infineon chip via i2c bus.
The system is a MIPS architecture and therefore works in big endian mode.
The problem is, that the chip type is not correctly recognized,
because the vendor ID is wrongly aligned in the memory.
By declaring the vendor ID variable as a `__le32` type, the TPM chip is
then correctly recognized by the driver and feels then responsible.
The device works than as expected.
