I will change it in v3 version.

Yes.
<TCG_PCClientTPMInterfaceSpecification_TIS__1-3_27_03212013.pdf>, section
6.4.2 Electrical Specification, Figure 4 Timing Diagram, describes the timing.

Moreover, when multi devices are sharing with the same SPI bus, only one cs can be 
activated simultaneously. If two or more cs are activated, corresponding devices 
may response at same time, cause bus conflicts.

Sorry, will be fixed in v3 version.
