Some Infineon devices have a issue where the status register will get stuck with a quick REQUEST_USE / COMMAND_READY sequence. This is not simply a matter of requiring a longer timeout; the work around is to retry the command submission. Add appropriate logic to do this in the send path. This is fixed in later firmware revisions, but those are not always available, and cannot generally be easily updated from outside a firmware environment. Testing has been performed with a simple repeated loop of doing a TPM2_CC_GET_CAPABILITY for TPM_CAP_PROP_MANUFACTURER using the Go code at: https://the.earth.li/~noodles/tpm-stuff/timeout-reproducer-simple.go It can take several hours to reproduce, and several million operations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
