In the TCG specification it is unfortunately also inconsistent.
I will change it to lower case then.

It is described in the TCG Trusted Platform Module Library Specification,
rev. 1.59 (Part 3: Commands) in Chapter 30.2.1, Example 3. This example
describes the behavior in failure mode, but it may occur in other
circumstances, such as field upgrade mode.

Since some computer system failed booting up in case the TPM returned
anything else than SUCCESS, therefore Infineon decided to return SUCCESS
when TPM is in field upgrade mode.
