Thank you. I agree. I will post v6 as CRB-only support. The GByteArray
patch is already accepted. The complex TIS changes can be posted
separately later.

Regarding the TIS buffer: I saw you implemented the migration blockers
and 8192-byte increase in your branch. Should I discard my
'Dynamically allocate tpm-tis buffer' patch entirely, or do you want to
try and adapt that logic into your TIS follow-up series later?

Since your new migration blockers are based on the 4096/8192 threshold,
it might be simpler to stick with the static approach for now, but let
me know what you prefer.
