I'm getting

$ git am ~/tmp/of-fix.patch 
Applying: TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory
error: patch failed: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_of.c:53
error: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_of.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 TPM: Avoid reference to potentially freed memory
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
   /home/jsakkine/projects/tpm2/git/linux-tpmdd/.git/rebase-apply/patch
   When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
   If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
   To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am
   --abort".

I'm applying this against Linus tree (4.3-rc7).
