The current patch does, you even provided a use case in your last email
 (it's do command to get sizing followed by do command with correctly
sized buffer).?

However, if you tie it to O_NONBLOCK, it won't because no-one currently
opens the TPM device non blocking so it's an ABI conformant
discriminator of the uses.  Tying to O_NONBLOCK should be simple
because it's in file->f_flags.
