The patch titled
tpm_tis: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT workaround
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
tpm_tis-tpm_sts_data_expect-workaround.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: tpm_tis: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT workaround
From: Rajiv Andrade <srajiv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Some newer Lenovo models are shipped with a TPM that doesn't seem to set
the TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT status bit when sending it a burst of data, so the
code understands it as a failure and doesn't proceed sending the chip the
intended data. In this patch we bypass this bit check in case the itpm
module parameter was set.
This patch is based on Andy Isaacson's one:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124650185023495&w=2
It was heavily discussed how should we deal with identifying the chip in
kernel space, but the required patch to do so was NACK'd:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=124650186423711&w=2
This way we let the user choose using this workaround or not based on his
observations on this code behavior when trying to use the TPM.
Fixed a checkpatch issue present on the previous patch, thanks to Daniel Walker.
