I would add that tpm_tis represents the MMIO path to a TPM chip, and is
only one of the drivers using tpm_tis_core.

Opt-in does not concern any other drivers using IRQs, namely tpm_tis_spi
and synquacer, meaning that Lino's changes are still for profit without
question. They were just scoped wrong.

MMIO is the "PC" thing where it matters least whether you poll or use
irqs.
