Hi,
the patch below should also fix the issue that Stefan reported here:

Some SPI controller drivers unregister the controller in the shutdown handler (e.g. BCM2835). If such a controller is used with a TPM 2 slave chip->ops may be accessed when it is already NULL:
At system shutdown the pre-shutdown handler tpm_class_shutdown() shuts down TPM 2 and sets chip->ops to NULL. Then at SPI controller unregistration tpm_tis_spi_remove() is called and eventually calls tpm_del_char_device() which tries to shut down TPM 2 again. Thereby it accesses chip->ops again: (tpm_del_char_device calls tpm_chip_start which calls tpm_clk_enable which calls chip->ops->clk_enable).
Avoid the NULL pointer access by testing if chip->ops is valid and skipping the TPM 2 shutdown procedure in case it is NULL.

Changes to v2:
- rephrased the commit message to clarify the circumstances under which this bug triggers (as requested by Jarkko)
I was able to reproduce this issue with a SLB 9670 TPM chip controlled by a BCM2835 SPI controller.
The approach to fix this issue in the BCM2835 driver was rejected after a discussion on the mailing list:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-integrity&m=163285906725367&w=2
The reason for the rejection was the realization, that this issue should rather be fixed in the TPM code:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-spi&m=163311087423271&w=2
So this is the reworked version of a patch that is supposed to do that.
