using this function while read/write data resulted in aborted operation.
after investigating according to TCG TPM Profile (PTP) Specifications,
i found cancel should happen only if TPM_STS.commandReady bit is lit
and couldn't find a case when the current condition is valid.
also only cmdReady bit need to be compared instead of the full lower 
status register byte.

Stefan were these cases you found that were deviating from the spec? 
Wondering
if dropping these will cause issues for these devices.

I believe these devices needed special handling of the status register 
as they didn't behave as the 'other' devices, so I would expect issues.
