I ended up with:

db4d8cb9c9f2 tpm: Fix TPM 1.2 Shutdown sequence to prevent future TPM operations
2677ca98ae37 tpm: use tpm_try_get_ops() in tpm-sysfs.c.
da379f3c1db0 tpm: migrate pubek_show to struct tpm_buf

Since some time has passed I'l just restate that the reason for
backporting 2677ca98ae37 was that tpm_class_shutdown() could pull carpet
under the TPM 1.2 code. tpm_try_get_ops() makes sure that read lock is
taken and chip->ops is not NULL if it successfully returns.

Still need to test the patches with TPM 1.2 hardware before I can send
them.
