Please let me come back with my proposal soon. I have already the tpm running 
with my little different driver. There is another patch required for my SoC to 
setup the SPI correctly.
Nevertheless one question: Why did you define another dts binding instead of 
using that one what is already available on the Linux kernel? There is 
"tcg,tpm_tis-spi"  already defined.
