Subject: [PATCH v11 08/14] tpm, tpm_tis: do not check for the active locality in interrupt handler

From: Lino Sanfilippo <l.sanfilippo@...bus.com>

After driver initialization tpm_tis_data->locality may only be modified in
case of a LOCALITY CHANGE interrupt. In this case the interrupt handler
iterates over all localities only to assign the active one to
tpm_tis_data->locality.

However this information is never used any more, so the assignment is not
needed.
Furthermore without the assignment tpm_tis_data->locality cannot change any
more at driver runtime, and thus no protection against concurrent
modification is required when the variable is read at other places.

So remove this iteration entirely.
