An excerpt of one reply I made at that time:

The spec (CG PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP)
    Specification Family “2.0” Level 00 Revision 01.03 v22, page 100) 
says that the command/response data "may be defined as large as 3968",
which is (0x1000 - 0x80), 0x80 being the size of the control struct.
so the size of the region logically is less than a 4kB page, hence our
trouble.

We learnt in the past Windows driver has some stronger expectation wrt
memory mapping. I don't know if those latter would work if we were to
enlarge the window by some tricks.

https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/Mobile-Command-Response-Buffer-Interface-v2-r12-Specification_FINAL2.pdf
says

"
Including the control structure, the three memory areas comprise the
entirety of the CRB. There are no constraints on how those three memory
areas are provided. They can all be in system RAM, or all be in device
memory, or any combination.

Thanks

Eric
