You are now calling tpm2_gen_interrupt and are looking at the rc, which
is the rc from tpm_transmit_cmd, which seems to make sure that the
sending of the command went alright and the reception of the response.
Is this good enough to distinguish between a TPM 2 and a TPM 1.2? If you
send a valid TPM 2 command to a TPM 1.2 this will at least transmit the
data ok, but the TPM will respond with a TPM 1.2 tag in the response.
The way I understand the code, the rc does not include whether the
response packet is a valid TPM 2 response packet and lets you conclude
to a TPM2. I do something similar in upcoming QEMU patches where I send
a valid TPM2 command for probing and if the tag(!) in the response is a
TPM2 tag (0x8001 = TPM_ST_NO_SESSIONS), then it's a TPM 2, otherwise a
TPM 1.2.
Did you test this with a TPM 1.2 ?
