Subject: [PATCH 4.9 017/164] tpm: add sleep only for retry in i2c_nuvoton_write_status()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nayna Jain <nayna@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 0afb7118ae021e80ecf70f5a3336e0935505518a upstream.

Currently, there is an unnecessary 1 msec delay added in
i2c_nuvoton_write_status() for the successful case. This
function is called multiple times during send() and recv(),
which implies adding multiple extra delays for every TPM
operation.

This patch calls usleep_range() only if retry is to be done.
