Douglas Anderson eac9347d93 tpm_tis_spi: Don't send anything during flow control
During flow control we are just reading from the TPM, yet our spi_xfer
has the tx_buf and rx_buf both non-NULL which means we're requesting a
full duplex transfer.

SPI is always somewhat of a full duplex protocol anyway and in theory
the other side shouldn't really be looking at what we're sending it
during flow control, but it's still a bit ugly to be sending some
"random" data when we shouldn't.

The default tpm_tis_spi_flow_control() tries to address this by
setting 'phy->iobuf[0] = 0'.  This partially avoids the problem of
sending "random" data, but since our tx_buf and rx_buf both point to
the same place I believe there is the potential of us sending the
TPM's previous byte back to it if we hit the retry loop.

Another flow control implementation, cr50_spi_flow_control(), doesn't
address this at all.

Let's clean this up and just make the tx_buf NULL before we call
flow_control().  Not only does this ensure that we're not sending any
"random" bytes but it also possibly could make the SPI controller
behave in a slightly more optimal way.

NOTE: no actual observed problems are fixed by this patch--it's was
just made based on code inspection.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
