Sometimes these kinds of things are just "evolutional" :)

There are also couple of other things that don't look right:

* tpm_transmit_cmd() already prints the TPM error
* If you use dev_err(), you must fail. If we ought to continue, it
should be at most dev_warn().

In my opinion it is just plain wrong to continue to the durations part
in the case of TPM error. I would like to hear a second opinion, though.
