The patch simply replaces all msleep function calls with usleep_range calls
in the generic drivers.
Tested with an Infineon TPM 1.2, using the generic tpm-tis module, for a
thousand PCR extends, we see results going from 1m57s unpatched to 40s
with the new patch. We obtain similar results when using the original and
patched tpm_infineon driver, which is also part of the patch.
Similarly with a STM TPM 2.0, using the CRB driver, it takes about 20ms per
extend unpatched and around 7ms with the new patch.
Note that the PCR consistency is untouched with this patch, each TPM has
been tested with 10 million extends and the aggregated PCR value is
continuously verified to be correct.
As an extension of this work, this could potentially and easily be applied
to other vendor's drivers. Still, these changes are not included in the
proposed patch as they are untested.
