The old code where you lifted this from said:

out:
     if (rc > 0)
         rc = -ENODEV;
     return rc;

It would not overwrite -ENOMEM with -ENODEV but yours does.

I think the correct fix would be to use:

if (rc > 0)

     rc = -ENODEV;

Above this is tpm_chip_stop(chip) because (afaik) none of the following 
function calls in tpm_chip_register() needed the TPM, but now with 
tpm_pcr_allocation() you will need to send a command to the TPM. So I 
would say you should move the tpm_chip_stop() into the error branch 
visible above and also after the tpm_pcr_allocation().
