Also the tpm_tis driver handles both of these. Can you confirm which
module that laptop was using (tpm_tis or tpm_infineon) and try whether
one of them works better than the other one? Please do a reboot between
trying one and then the other.

Try the following before and after a suspend/resume:

cd /sys
find . | grep caps$ | xargs cat

It should display manufacturer data.
