Can you explain how reverting is going to fix the issue?

This is wrong way to move forward. The root cause must be identified
first and then decide actions like always in any situation.

The reverts fix 'the interrupt storm issue' that they are causing on
some systems but don't fix the issue with the interrupt mode not being
used. I was hoping Jerry would get access to a system faster but this
didn't seem to be the case. So sending these patches seemed the better
solution than leaving 5.4.x with the problem but going back to when it
worked 'better.'

I finally heard back from IT support, and unfortunately they don't
have any T490s systems to give out on temp loan. So I can only send
patched kernels to the end user that had the problem.

At least it is a fact that tpm_chip_stop() is called too early and that
is destined to cause issues.

Should I bake a patch or do you have already something?

This patch is completely bogus: it's not a full revert of what it
claims to be. With this patch applied all my TIS TPMs are returning
0xff to the status reads because the locality hasn't been properly
requested. The chip has to be started somewhere for the interrupt
probe to work on these TPMs ... what the original patch did was
eliminate a bunch of start/stops for a global one. However, if the
global one isn't working we should have gone back to the bunch of
smaller ones i.e. a full revert.

The only real manifestation of the problems this patch causes is that
interrupts never get enabled on TIS TPMs that have this issue, but they
still work via polling.

The below is what fixes this for me with the minimum possible extend of
additional chip start/stop in the code. This should be checked against
the previous failing laptops.

Subject: [PATCH] tpm_tis: fix interrupt probing

When we send a command into the TPM core, the TPM must be started
otherwise the register reads can be bogus. There have been several
bug reports about doing this inside the TIS core, so fix the issue by
adding an external version of the tpm2_get_tpm_pt() call which adds a
tpm ops get/put to set up the TPM correctly before the command is
sent.
