That sounds like you might have picked up the version with the typo that 
I posted to the list; it got fixed up before making it to mainline. The 
two patches I've backported locally are in mainline as:

7146dffa875cd00e7a7f918e1fce79c7593ac1fa tpm, tpm_tis: Fix timeout handling when waiting for TPM status
de9e33df7762abbfc2a1568291f2c3a3154c6a9d tpm, tpm_tis: Workaround failed command reception on Infineon devices
