[PATCH 2/2] tpm: st33zp24: Validate locality read result

Message-ID <[email protected]>
check_locality() treats every nonzero transport return as success. SPI
errors remain negative, while the I2C path can convert a negative write
error through its byte-sized status variable. Either result is nonzero
even though the TPM_ACCESS byte can remain unwritten, so indeterminate
ACTIVE_LOCALITY and VALID bits can falsely report an active locality.

Require recv() to return exactly the requested byte before examining
TPM_ACCESS. Transport errors and short reads now report an inactive
locality, while successful reads retain the existing behavior.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by manual
source review.
