Please no hyphens just normal single quotes.

You should have always in a commit message some explanation what
the patch does in imperative form, e.g. "Change type of xxx ...
because ...".

I cannot from find a variable named "vendor ID" from
tpm_tis_i2c_init(). Maybe you are referring to the variable,
of which name is "vendor"?

Finally, the commit message lacks explanation what is changed, i.e.
tpm2_tis_i2c_init() in this case.

Did you find the commit ID where this regression was introduceD?
