Subject: [PATCH] tpm: read burstcount from TPM_STS in one 32-bit transaction

From: Andrey Pronin <apronin@...omium.org>

Some chips incorrectly support partial reads from TPM_STS register
at non-zero offsets. Read the entire 32-bits register instead of
making two 8-bit reads to support such devices and reduce the number
of bus transactions when obtaining the burstcount from TPM_STS.
