I guess that doesn't set the duration values though

There is no reason to use anything but the correct timeouts, as read
from the device.

Should there be a check in tpm1_get_timeouts and tpm2_get_timeouts:

if (chip->flags & TPM_CHIP_FLAG_HAVE_TIMEOUTS)
return 0;

to skip going through it again in the auto startup code if it was
already called and set?
