The only other thought I had was moving the tpm_chip_start/stop
into tpm_tis_probe_irq_single around the tpm_tis_gen_interrupt call.
I don't know why doing the clkrun bit after setting the interrupt
register values would matter, but I'm not sure what else there is
that would be different than when that stuff was happening in
down in tpm_try_transmit. Without hardware to poke at it is hard
to get anywhere.
