Including those reverts would be a bogus change at this point.

I'm failing to see how you arrived at that conclusion.

The fix that I already applied obviously fixes an issue even if
it does not fix all the issues.

These patches take a usable system and make it unusable:

1ea32c83c699 tpm_tis_core: Set TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ before probing for interrupts
5b359c7c4372 tpm_tis_core: Turn on the TPM before probing IRQ's

...they need to be reverted, or the regression needs to be fixed, but
asserting that you fixed something else unrelated does not help.


Reverting 1ea32c83c699 ("tpm_tis_core: Set TPM_CHIP_FLAG_IRQ before
probing for interrupts") would at least allow people impacted by this
to boot their systems without disabling the tpm, or blacklisting the
module while we figure this out. From what I can tell the tpm_tis code
was operating in that state since 570a36097f30 ("tpm: drop 'irq' from
struct tpm_vendor_specific") until Stefan's patch.
