Hi Justin

IMHO
See code of functions tpm_transmit(), transmit_cmd and tpm_gen_interrupt(). 
In tpm_gen_interrupt() not need check rc for wrong value bacause if in function 
transmit_cmd() len == TPM_ERROR_SIZE then put a debug message (dev_dbg()).
Again, if something wrong in tpm_transmit() then runs dev_err() and rc in 
tpm_gen_interrupt() get -E* value.
So, we can remove unused rc variable in tpm_gen_interrupt(). 

See patch below. Note: I not tested it.
