Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] tpm_tis_core: add optional max xfer size check

If tpm reports a bigger burstcnt than allowed by the physical protocol,
re-query the burstcnt and correct, if needed, if still too large.

In practice, seen in case of xfer issues (e.g. in spi interface case,
lost header causing flow control issues and wrong values returned on read
from TPM_STS). Without catching, causes the physical layer to reject xfer,
while is easily preventable by re-querying TPM_STS.
