Ok, so there is already driver for this called tpm_tis_core.

So you go and create a new module, whose name given the framework of
things that we already have deployed, is destined to be tpm_tis_i2c.

Then you roughly implement a new physical layer by using  a callback
interface provided to you by tpm_tis_core.

The so called re-design was already addressed by Alexander [1].

How hard can it be seriously?
