Subject: [PATCH v8 6/8] verify TPM_STS register is valid after  locality request

From: Amir Mizinski <amirmizi6@...il.com>

Issue could result when the TPM does not update TPM_STS register after
a locality request (TPM_STS Initial value = 0xFF) and a TPM_STS register
read occurs (tpm_tis_status(chip)).

Checking the next condition("if ((status & TPM_STS_COMMAND_READY) == 0)"),
the status will be at 0xFF and will be considered, wrongly, in "Ready"
state (by checking only one bit). However, at this moment the TPM is, in
fact, in "Idle" state and remains in "Idle" state because
"tpm_tis_ready(chip);" was not executed.
