After reviewing your previous comments, i think we can drop this 
tpm_vendor_specific structure to simplify the code a bit.
However, the work we are doing may stick only to TPM1.2. I think it will 
be fine as we have only drivers for those kind of TPMs.
I believe a new uclass may be necessary when going to provide support 
TPM 2.0.

In short, may be we can anticipate that and make it explicit in the 
uclass name ? (UCLASS_TPM12 ?)

[...]

Christophe
