Subject: [PATCH] tpm: fix incorrect success returns from tpm_try_transmit()
Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2018 10:27:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1546280851.3079.2.camel@HansenPartnership.com> (raw)

Ever since 627448e85c766 "tpm: separate cmd_ready/go_idle from
runtime_pm" we have been returning success from tpm_try_transmit()
even if an error occurred.  The reason is that the introduction of rc
= tpm_go_idle() at the end of processing overwrites the value of rc if
it contains an error code (mostly with success).  Fix this by writing
the return to a new variable rc1 instead.

Note: the goto out looks fishy as well.  The only go_idle implementor
is tpm_crb and that can return a timeout as -ETIME, so it looks like it
would then loop forever
