We are using E2BIG in similar situations in a few places:

❯ git grep E2BIG drivers/char/tpm
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c:              return -E2BIG;
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-interface.c:               return -E2BIG;
drivers/char/tpm/tpm_crb.c:             return -E2BIG;
drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_atmel.c:               return -E2BIG;
drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_infineon.c:            return -E2BIG;

So, I tend to think that also in here it'd be better to use E2BIG.
