When does it return RC_COMMAND_COMMAND return code? Who is observing
this? Please, do not use passive form.

Where did you draw the conclusion that it doesn not indicate the
exact status? What does RC_COMMAND_CODE anyway indicate then? Just
trying to understand.

Also, please check the grammar in last two sentences (the second one
should probably be a subordinate clause).

Isn't that command implemented inside the TPM? You are implementing
tpm2_get_selftest_result().

These numbers mean *absolutely nothing* to me as they are not
connected to *anything*.

The log messages do not have consistent wording and they are
prefixed with "tpm" for no reason. I would advice to just remove
them.

You could probably measure the durations with ftrace by using
the function_graph tracer...
