A TPM implementing more PCR banks than U-Boot knows algorithms for is
currently rejected by tpm2_get_pcr_info(), even if the unknown banks
are inactive. Ours implements six banks, including SHA3-384:

  tpm2_get_pcr_info: too many pcrs: 6

Once this limit is lifted (patch 2), the existing code for deactivating
unsupported banks with CONFIG_TPM_PCR_ALLOCATE turns out not to work:

- the result of TPM2_PCR_Allocate (allocationSuccess) is ignored, so a
  refused allocation goes unnoticed (patch 1)
- active banks with algorithms not listed in hash_algo_list at all are
  never detected (patch 3)
- the fallback in tpm2_pcr_extend() deactivates *all* banks and does not
  reset the board (patch 4)

Patch 5 deactivates the unsupported banks in tpm2_startup() already, if
the TPM is actually started there, so that this happens before anything
gets measured, also for users which do not go through
tcg2_measurement_init() or the EFI TCG2 protocol. Note that with
CONFIG_TPM_PCR_ALLOCATE enabled, this lets tpm2_startup() fail if the
unsupported banks cannot be deactivated. The rationale is that enabling
the option asks U-Boot to manage the banks, so failing early seems
preferable to failing at the first PCR extend.

Tested on a downstream U-Boot based on v2025.04 with a TPM implementing
six PCR banks, with the unsupported banks both inactive and active.
Build- and unit-tested (ut dm tpm, ut lib) on sandbox against main.

Changes in v2:
- 5/5: deactivate the unsupported banks in tpm2_startup() instead of
  tpm2_auto_start(), and only if TPM2_Startup(TPM2_SU_CLEAR) succeeded,
  i.e. not if an earlier boot stage already started the TPM, and not
  for TPM2_SU_STATE (Ilias)
- rebased onto current main

Changes in v3:
- Add Reviewed-by tags from Ilias to patches 1-4

Tycho Kirchner (5):
  tpm: check allocationSuccess of TPM2_PCR_Allocate
  tpm: allow TPMs with more banks than U-Boot knows algorithms for
  tpm: detect active banks with algorithms unknown to U-Boot
  tpm: deactivate only unsupported banks before PCR extend
  tpm: deactivate unsupported banks in tpm2_startup()
