The TPM driver shouldn't load if self test fails, and we don't expect
self test to ever fail.
So..
1) The TPM is busted? Assuming not since you probably used an
earlier kernel?
2) The CRB driver is no longer executing command properly?
My guess would be
f5357413dbaa ("tpm/tpm_crb: Use start method value from ACPI table
directly")
Borked it.
Maybe this TPM needed one of the workarounds and the
restructuring broke it, or maybe it was working 'accidently' and
got broke.
3) For some reason the core code is not handling commands correctly?
Don't see any patches on that topic though.
Unless someone else has an idea, we may have to ask you to do a
bisection on this bug?
