OK, so the length of the response is not trashed, but only the error
code. The attached patch fully fixes the issue.

Here's the header again:

struct tpm_output_header {
	__be16	tag;
	__be32	length;
	__be32	return_code;
} __packed;

The first to fields *are* read correctly and the last field get 1's
(thus TPM error -1).

With the attached the patch things work properly, but still
unsatisfactory fix (return to old behavior because it seems to
work).
