TPM_BUFSIZE can be increased, in its new location include/linux/tpm.h as
per the patch : 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/[email protected]/
and I think that alone will take care of the check if (size > TPM_BUFSIZE)
in tpm_common_write() in drivers/char/tpm/tpm-dev-common.c.

However I was not able to apply the mbox file cleanly on the existing
branches for-next-tpm and for-next-keys. I could apply them cleanly on
the old branch (next). Please guide.

I would only change the TPM_BUFSIZE set in 
[PATCH v9 11/11] tpm-buf: Implement managed allocations to 8192.

Indeed.
