When an application sends TPM commands in NONBLOCKING mode the driver holds chip->tpm_mutex returning from write(), which triggers WARNING: lock held when returning to user space! To silence this warning the driver needs to release the mutex and acquire it again in tpm_dev_async_work() before sending the command.
