It's not abuse just the flag UNLOCKED is not really named correctly
I think this has to be backported so wanted to do less invasive change.

Currently both TPM_TRANSMIT_UNLOCKED and TPM_TRANSMIT_RAW servers the same purpose, to resolve
the recursion in tpm tranmit.
What I believe should be done is to split the function into two to eliminate recursive call instead of using flags.
Please also there is clock_enable which is not protected from double call.
Thanks
Tomas
