Yes. If the first command returns "invalid post init" or whatever it is called
in tpm20 speech the driver should send the startup clear.
Not sure if we should send a startup state in the resume case (like on tpm1.2)
And also it might make sense to send a tpm_shutdown? (If we aren't already) I
think even on a machine with bios integration we have to send this?
