you asked for an alternative wording here. What about:

	The TPM core has long assumed that every device has a driver
	attached, which is not valid. This was noticed with commit
	b8b2c7d845d5 ("base/platform: assert that dev_pm_domain
	callbacks are called unconditionally") which made probing of the
	tpm_tis device fail by mistake and resulted in an oops later on.
	
?
