Subject: [PATCH 0/1] tpm_tis: handle -EPROBE_DEFER in tpm_tis_plat_probe()

Hello,

I noticed that the tpm_tis driver behaves different depending on
wether it was compiled builtin or as a module.

At least on my hardware, if builtin it always falls back to polling mode
without notification which I do not understand considering the current
efforts to fix interrupt probing[1].

The builtin case could be fixed by handling -EPROBE_DEFER.  With a
temporary dev_dbg() call added and James Bottomley's
"[PATCH v2 4/5] tpm_tis: fix IRQ probing [1]" applied my kernel log
looks like this:

Of course, this patch should not be added before Jarkko's fix [2], because
builtin drivers would then hit the WARN_ONCE(), as well.
