Originally I sent a patch that corrected the evaluation of the return 
code within the TPM's response and introduced the sysfs entry. I did not 
scale the MEDIUM and LONG timeouts, which then caused the problems on 
the Infineon TPM and the patch was removed. I then introduced the 
scaling of the MEDIUM and LONG timeouts, which seems necessary as a 
consequence to working with the TPM-reported timeouts. Then adding a 
sysfs entry to it is an additional feature. I'd split this patch in 2 
patches where the 2nd one introduces the sysfs entry. Is this ok with you?
