I had the same thought. Unfortunately, the I2C-TIS specification
introduces two relevant changes compared to tpm_tis/tpm_tis_spi:

1. Locality is not encoded into register addresses anymore, but stored
in a separate register.
2. Several register addresses have changed (but still contain compatible
contents).

I'd still prefer not to duplicate all the high-level logic from
tpm_tis_core. But this will probably mean to introduce some new
interfaces between tpm_tis_core and the physical layers.

Also, shouldn't the new driver be called tpm_tis_i2c, to group it with
all the other (TIS) drivers, that implement a vendor-independent
protocol? With tpm_i2c_ptp users might assume that ptp is just another
vendor.
