Public bug reported:

    NVIDIA: [Config]: Ensure the TPM is available before IMA initializes

    Set the following configs:

      CONFIG_SPI_TEGRA210_QUAD=y
      CONFIG_TCG_TIS_SPI=y

    On Grace systems, the IMA driver emits the following log:

      ima: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!

    This occurs because the IMA driver initializes before we are able to detect
    the TPM. This will always be the case when the drivers required to
    communicate with the TPM, spi_tegra210_quad and tpm_tis_spi, are built as
    modules.

    Having these drivers as built-ins ensures that the TPM is available before
    the IMA driver initializes.
