In tpm2_del_space() the sessions are flushed by means of the tpm_chip
operations. However the concerning operations pointer my already be NULL at

What is "concerniog operations"? Unfamiliar term. Maybe just consistently
se chip->ops? Now you have also "tpm_chip operations" and chip->ops, in
addition to "concerning operations" in one paragraph commit message.
this time in case that the chip has been unregistered (see
tpm_chip_unregister() which calls tpm_del_char_device() which sets
chip->ops to NULL).
Before accessing chip->ops check if it is still valid. Skip flushing
the sessions in this case.

Instead of cross referencing please describe the scenario (i.e.
the sequence of operations) of failure.

Fixes tag is also missing.
