[PATCH 2/3] tpm: reduce poll sleep time between send() and recv() in tpm_transmit()

From: Nayna Jain
Date: Wed Feb 28 2018 - 14:19:02 EST


In tpm_transmit, after send(), the code checks for status in a loop
with polling every 5msec. It is expected that the tpm might return
earlier than 5msec, so it might be adding to unnecessary delay.

This patch reduces the polling sleep time from 5msec to 1msec.

After this change, performance on a TPM 1.2 with an 8 byte
burstcount for 1000 extends improved from ~14sec to ~10.7sec.
