Hi,
I think it would be good to send a TPM2_Startup if the TPM sends a
TPM_RC_INITIALIZE (0x100) - so it becomes atleast usable.
Of course the BIOS/UEFI/Firmware should send the TPM2_Startup, but if there is
no such thing, I would prefer Linux to do it, rather than nobody.
(analog: This was done for embedded platforms with TPM1.2).
In the current situation (v9) it is not possible to use the TPM2 on a machine
without bios integration. :( (so I cannot test here :( )
