Subject: [PATCH 06/15] tpm: Remove redundant dev_set_drvdata

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@...idianresearch.com>

TPM drivers should not call dev_set_drvdata (or aliases), only the core
code is allowed to call dev_set_drvdata, and it does it during
tpm_register_hardware.

These extra sets are harmless, but are an anti-pattern that many drivers
have copied.
