tpm.c: fix crash during device removal
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The clean up procedure now uses platform device "release" callback to
handle memory clean up.  For this purpose "release" function callback was
added to struct tpm_vendor_specific, so hw device driver provider can get
called when it is safe to remove all allocated resources.

This is supposed to fix a bug in device removal, where device while in
receive function (waiting on timeout) was prone to segfault, if the
tpm_chip struct was unallocated before the timeout expired (in
tpm_remove_hardware).
