Way back in 2008 we didn't have "robust" in-kernel documentation system, so the idea of putting something like the kernel driver statement in the kernel tree wasn't even imagined. But now that has changed, so add the old document to the kernel source itself to allow for us to properly reference it in one canonical place (as the LF wiki keeps moving things around.) This also will allow people to add their names to it, as I seem to have lost the ability to do that by not knowing how to edit things on the original document.

The existing message "Excess struct/union/enum/typedef member [...]" made it sound like this would already be done, but the code is never invoked for enums or typedefs (and really can't be). Add some code to the enum dumper to handle this there instead. While at it, also make the above message more accurate by simply dumping the type that was passed in, and pass the struct/union differentiation in.

The crq is passed in registers and is the same on BE and LE hosts. However, current implementation allocates a structure on-stack to represent the crq, initializes the members swapping them to BE, and loads the structure swapping it from BE. This is pointless and causes GCC warnings about ununitialized members. Get rid of the structure and the warnings.

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.
