what I tried was this:

if (!rc)
	printk("test........"\n")

and everything looked good,
but as a soon as I changed

rc = transmit_cmd(chip,&tpm_cmd, TPM_INTERNAL_RESULT_SIZE,
    			"attempting to determine the timeouts");

to this:

rc = transmit_cmd(chip,&tpm_cmd, TPM_INTERNAL_RESULT_SIZE);

if (!rc)
	printk("attempting to determine the timeouts\n");

I error out with transmit_cmd not having enough
functions to it.. so I just added the rc = 0;
and went on to the next.
