I *tried* to apply them myself after sending this in order to be helpful
but they have compilation errors:
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c: In function ‘tpm_shutdown’:
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c:162:23: error: ‘TPM_SU_CLEAR’ undeclared (first use
in this function)
tpm2_shutdown(chip, TPM_SU_CLEAR);
^~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c:162:23: note: each undeclared identifier is
reported only once for each function it appears in
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c: In function ‘tpm_chip_alloc’:
drivers/char/tpm/tpm-chip.c:214:17: error: ‘chip->dev.class’ is a pointer; did
you mean to use ‘->’?
chip->dev.class.shutdown = tpm_shutdown;
