Subject: [PATCH v4 0/7] tpm_tis: Clean up force module parameter

Drive the force=1 flow through the driver core. There are two main reasons to do this:
 1) To enable tpm_tis for OF environments requires a platform_device anyhow, so
    the force_device needs to be re-used for them.
 2) Recent changes in the core code break the assumption that a driver will be
    'attached' to things created through platform_device_register_simple,
    which causes the tpm core to blow up.

To make force probing reliable this also fixes both tpm_tis and tpm_crb to
properly use request_region to lock the TPM iomemory against multiple access.

v4:
- Alter the commit message for using the common ACPI definitions (Jarkko)
- Move the misplaced error check hunk from patch #4 to #3 (Jarkko)

v3:
- Fix some bugs in getting the struct resource for tpm_tis (Martin Wilck)
- Include tpm_crb in the request_resource cleanup as well, tpm_tis and tpm_crb
  tend to use the same address ranges so both should have locking for safety
- ACPI and endianness cleanups in both drivers

v2:
 - Make sure we request the mem resource in tpm_tis to avoid double-loading
   the driver
 - Re-order the init sequence so that a forced platform device gets first crack at
   loading, and excludes the other mechanisms via the above
 - Checkpatch clean
 - Gotos renamed

Jason Gunthorpe (7):
  tpm_crb: Use the common ACPI definition of struct acpi_tpm2
  tpm_tis: Disable interrupt auto probing on a per-device basis
  tpm_tis: Do not fall back to a hardcoded address for TPM2
  tpm_tis: Use devm_ioremap_resource
  tpm_tis: Clean up the force=1 module parameter
  tpm_crb: Drop le32_to_cpu(ioread32(..))
  tpm_crb: Use devm_ioremap_resource
