Hi Simon,

I pretty much like the move to driver model for TPM.
However, i have some few remarks:

The current i2c driver stick to Infineon TPMs and will not support any 
other vendors like ST(in my case).
The main reason for this is that there is no transport protocol over I2C 
specification defined by the Trusted Computing Group for TPM1.2.
You can take a look at my release tentative here:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-August/222596.html

The tpm.c file was delivering a way to ajust best the waiting time for 
command duration to receive a command answer from a TPM command. It was 
ported from Linux to u-boot.
You can find in chapter 17 how the table tpm_protected_ordinal_duration, 
tpm_ordinal_duration were build. 
(https://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/files/resource_files/E14876A3-1A4B-B294-D086297A1ED38F96/mainP2Structrev103.pdf)
This is defined by the TCG and followed by TPM vendors. In u-boot, this 
is used only by Infineon i2c driver but it could/should(?) be used
by all other drivers (i2c and lpc).

In short, the idea is to keep  the way TPM commands are transfered 
giving the hands to drivers for handling the communication over a 
specified or proprietary transport protocol.

I fear the current approach would lead to duplicated codes on may TPM 
drivers and 2 very differents kind of drivers (Linux/u-boot) very far 
from each other.

Would it be possible to have your comments on my proposal ?
