Right. I was wondering why release_locality is called inside
tpm_tis_remove().

So is the idea of checking pendingRequest such that the release
part is "lazy" and not like what I'm doing in tpm_crb (always
relinquish).

Is that done for performance reasons? Should I do the same (pr
similar in tpm_crb?

I guess since it is lazy in tpm_tis_core the force is done in
tpm_tis_remove so that you always relinquish the locality even
if someone is not requesting it, right?

Where should this be documented, to the header?
