There is not really issue with the implementation, I believe this is just more readable and it helped me with debugging quicker.
Some platforms are coming with discreet TPM (TIS) and some are PTT so this gives me quick answer for that and mostly 
It's coming from the same logging facility you don't have to go to acpi dump. 

Second, it there is this little issue here, were 'sm == ACPI_TPM2_MEMORY_MAPPED' cannot be really hit, as the code has bailed on that before.

if (sm == ACPI_TPM2_COMMAND_BUFFER || sm == ACPI_TPM2_MEMORY_MAPPED ||
	    !strcmp(acpi_device_hid(device), "MSFT0101"))

Last it handles the parsing on one place,  before allocating the private data.

I think this change has some value, but no strong feelings about it.
