The Fix:
- Patch 1: Adds error logs to identify the specific hardware status mismatch.
- Patch 2: Stops execution immediately when retries are exhausted.

v2 changes:
- Split logging and logic into separate patches.
- Added retry count to the error message.
- Included dmesg traces below.

Testing:
Dmesg traces obtained using error injection to simulate status register mismatches.

Before:
[  130.288751] tpm tpm0: Operation Timed out
[  250.306070] tpm tpm0: Operation Timed out
[  250.310173] tpm tpm0: A TPM error (-62) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts

After:
[   10.271547] tpm tpm0: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT should be unset. sts = 0x00000080
...
[   10.646283] tpm tpm0: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT should be unset. sts = 0x00000080
[   10.653461] tpm tpm0: Exhausted 50 tpm_tis_send_data retries
[   10.659304] tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -5
[   10.665435] tpm tpm0: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT should be unset. sts = 0x00000080
...
[   11.037198] tpm tpm0: TPM_STS_DATA_EXPECT should be unset. sts = 0x00000080
[   11.044441] tpm tpm0: Exhausted 50 tpm_tis_send_data retries
[   11.050288] tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -5
[   11.055723] tpm tpm0: A TPM error (-5) occurred attempting to determine the timeouts

tpm_tis_send_main() will attempt to retry sending data TPM_RETRY times.
Currently, if those retries are exhausted, the driver will attempt to
call execute. The TPM will be in the wrong state, leading to the
operation simply timing out.

Instead, if there is still an error after retries are exhausted, return
that error immediately.
