The else shouldn't be used here.
Indented code followed by an unindented test is not nice.

A more kernel style conformant style looks like:

		rc = tpm_transmit(chip, (u8 *)&cmd, READ_PCR_RESULT_SIZE);
		if (rc < TPM_HEADER_SIZE)
			return -EFAULT;

		rc = be32_to_cpu(cmd.header.out.return_code);
 		if (rc == TPM_ERR_DISABLED || rc == TPM_ERR_DEACTIVATED) {
			etc...
