I do not see any such code in mainline. So for mainline, this is just dead code, i. e. it adds maintenance efforts without benefit for any mainline users. > The code that uses TPM did not send to the mainline because the > mainline did not have a TPM driver until very recently. Well, the patche shave been submitted long time ago, so I would have expected to see such code soon after. But so far, nothign happened. Now you are trying to add even more code, with still no users in sight. > And, I am still figuring out how to submit the TPM user code.

Didn't you just write there was code ready to be submitted? So that code is not ready and not intended for mainline?
