It's using tpm_tis:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Mar 28 13:40 /sys/bus/pnp/devices/00:02/driver -> ../../../bus/pnp/drivers/tpm_tis

FWIW, the fedora kernels have this:

CONFIG_TCG_TPM=y
CONFIG_TCG_TIS=y
CONFIG_TCG_NSC=m
CONFIG_TCG_ATMEL=m
CONFIG_TCG_INFINEON=m

When I boot, tpm_infineon is also plugged in, but I can remove that
module and nothing seems to change (not sure what's plugging it in).

I can try using tpm_infineon, but I'm not sure how to disable tpm_tis
with it compiled in like this -- is that possible?

There's only one "caps" file. Here's the before (after a fresh reboot):

# cat ./devices/pnp0/00:02/caps
Manufacturer: 0x49465800
TCG version: 1.2
Firmware version: 1.0

...after a successful suspend/resume cycle:

# cat ./devices/pnp0/00:02/caps

...it gives no output at all. Guess that lends some weight to the
theory of it not being reset properly on resume?

Thanks for the help so far...
