Hao Wu ff1a0f71cc tpm: fix Atmel TPM crash caused by too frequent queries
[ Upstream commit 79ca6f74da ]

The Atmel TPM 1.2 chips crash with error
`tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -62` since kernel 4.14.
It is observed from the kernel log after running `tpm_sealdata -z`.
The error thrown from the command is as follows
```
$ tpm_sealdata -z
Tspi_Key_LoadKey failed: 0x00001087 - layer=tddl,
code=0087 (135), I/O error
```

The issue was reproduced with the following Atmel TPM chip:
```
$ tpm_version
T0  TPM 1.2 Version Info:
  Chip Version:        1.2.66.1
  Spec Level:          2
  Errata Revision:     3
  TPM Vendor ID:       ATML
  TPM Version:         01010000
  Manufacturer Info:   41544d4c
```

The root cause of the issue is due to the TPM calls to msleep()
were replaced with usleep_range() [1], which reduces
the actual timeout. Via experiments, it is observed that
the original msleep(5) actually sleeps for 15ms.
Because of a known timeout issue in Atmel TPM 1.2 chip,
the shorter timeout than 15ms can cause the error described above.

A few further changes in kernel 4.16 [2] and 4.18 [3, 4] further
reduced the timeout to less than 1ms. With experiments,
the problematic timeout in the latest kernel is the one
for `wait_for_tpm_stat`.

To fix it, the patch reverts the timeout of `wait_for_tpm_stat`
to 15ms for all Atmel TPM 1.2 chips, but leave it untouched
for Ateml TPM 2.0 chip, and chips from other vendors.
As explained above, the chosen 15ms timeout is
the actual timeout before this issue introduced,
thus the old value is used here.
Particularly, TPM_ATML_TIMEOUT_WAIT_STAT_MIN is set to 14700us,
TPM_ATML_TIMEOUT_WAIT_STAT_MIN is set to 15000us according to
the existing TPM_TIMEOUT_RANGE_US (300us).
The fixed has been tested in the system with the affected Atmel chip
with no issues observed after boot up.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
