Subject: [PATCH v2] tpm: Fix the description error of the help information in Kconfig

SPI protocol standardized by the TCG is described in the TCG PTP
specification 1.3 (chapter 6.4.6 SPI Bit Protocol), It was published by
TCG_PCClientTPMInterfaceSpecification_TIS__1-3_27_03212013.pdf.

The TPM version number in the help message is wrong, which will
cause confusion. This patch fixes it.

Fixes: 0edbfea537d1 ("tpm/tpm_tis_spi: Add support for spi phy")

If you have a TPM security chip which is connected to a regular,
non-tcg SPI master (i.e. most embedded platforms) that is compliant with the
- TCG TIS 1.3 TPM specification (TPM1.2) or the TCG PTP FIFO
+ TCG TIS 1.3 TPM specification (TPM1.3) or the TCG PTP FIFO
specification (TPM2.0) say Yes and it will be accessible from
within Linux. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here;
the module will be called tpm_tis_spi.

I'm still not convinced you got this right, the document you cite only
seems to mention TPM 1.2 as the base for TIS 1.3, but not TPM 1.3.

You are right, I was careless, thanks for your reply.
