The commit went in the following form:

http://git.infradead.org/users/jjs/linux-tpmdd.git/commit/9b558deab2c5d7dc23d5f7a4064892ede482ad32

I refined the long description as they should be written in imperative
form. I also changed it to consistently to speak about tpm_tis_core
instead of using two differing spellings (tpm_tis and TPM TIS). tpm_tis
is a different module than tpm_tis_core.

Unfortunately I had to drop the assignment statement because:

1. Generally speaking, two separate bug fixes should never reside in the
   same commit. They even need their own fixes tags in this case.
2. The commit message did not reason the assignment statement.
