4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Huewe <peter.huewe@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 975094ddc369a32f27210248bdd9bbd153061b00 upstream. Abort the transfer with ETIMEDOUT when the TPM signals more than TPM_RETRY wait states. Continuing with the transfer in this state will only lead to arbitrary failures in other parts of the code.
