To add, this documentation *clears* the confusion in "FIFO vs TIS" by
documenting where TIS comes from (i.e. from the original TPM Interface
Spefication).

If you read the current standards you bump quite often (55 times in the
current spec) to FIFO interface, so it is good to clarify their relation
in the kernel documentation.

BR, Jarkko
