Unfortunately, due to some small bugs, tpm_tis_spi in mainline is not yet 
compatible with this device. Starting with 4.12 it should be properly supported.

Those are all the patches that I needed on a Raspberry Pi 2 for the device to 
work correctly. I did not use 4.8 though, but worked with 4.10.

Could you be more specific? What exactly fails? What data is transferred 
to/from the TPM when it fails?
