** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
+ * This is a change for hardware enablement.
  * On the NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms (Nano, NX, and AGX) installed with 
candidate Ubuntu for Jetson images (Jammy: 
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/nvidia-tegra/ubuntu-server/jammy/daily-preinstalled/ 
Noble: 
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/nvidia-tegra/ubuntu-server/noble/daily-preinstalled/),
 when performing encrypt and decrypt operations using ECC or RSA through 
clevis-encrypt-tpm2, the following error is displayed: "authorizations for 
objects subject to DA protection are not allowed at this time because the TPM 
is in DA lockout mode".
  * On the NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms, the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is 
an fTPM (Firmware TPM), implemented as an OP-TEE Trusted Application. The "DA 
Lockout" message is not actually been hammered by a dictionary attack, but when 
OP-TEE Secure Storage is unavailable, TPM NVRAM is unavailable so the system 
locks everyone out.
  * This error will be fixed properly initializing the TPM, by first starting 
the TEE-supplicant and then installing the "tpm_ftpm_tee" module, using a 
system-d Drop-In file to override the TEE-supplicant initialization sequence. 
TEE-supplicant has been set as a dependency of the "nvidia-tegra-defaults" 
package, for it to be installed in the Ubuntu for Jetson images.

  [ Test Plan ]
  
  1. Install the candidate Ubuntu for Jetson image on a Jetson Orin device
  (Jammy: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/nvidia-tegra/ubuntu-
  server/jammy/daily-preinstalled/manual/, Noble:
  https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/nvidia-tegra/ubuntu-server/noble/daily-
  preinstalled/current/).
  
  2. Run the commands below, for both cases (ECC and RSA) the following
  error will be displayed: "authorizations for objects subject to DA
  protection are not allowed at this time because the TPM is in DA lockout
  mode".

-      If the following error is displayed when testing the "Noble"
+      If the following error is displayed when testing the "Noble"
  version of this package: "A TPM2 device with the in-kernel resource
  manager is needed!", proceed with the steps described in bullet #3.
  
  3. If testing the "Noble" version of the package, ensure to have the
  CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT Kernel config symbol set to "y".
  
-    ```
-    $ grep CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT /boot/config-$(uname -r)
-    CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT=y
-    ```
+    ```
+    $ grep CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT /boot/config-$(uname -r)
+    CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT=y
+    ```
  
-    If CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT is set to "m" the Kernel can be updated
+    If CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT is set to "m" the Kernel can be updated
  by installing the `linux-nvidia-tegra-ppadev-jetson-devel` package as
  shown below.
  
-    ```
-    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-tegra/kernel-daily
-    $ sudo apt update
-    $ sudo apt install linux-nvidia-tegra-ppadev-jetson-devel
-    $ sudo reboot now
-    $ grep CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT /boot/config-$(uname -r)
-    CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT=y
-    ```
+    ```
+    $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-tegra/kernel-daily
+    $ sudo apt update
+    $ sudo apt install linux-nvidia-tegra-ppadev-jetson-devel
+    $ sudo reboot now
+    $ grep CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT /boot/config-$(uname -r)
+    CONFIG_ARM_FFA_TRANSPORT=y
+    ```
  
  4. Then, proceed installing the updated "nvidia-tegra-defaults" package.
  
  5. Rerun the "encrypt and decrypt" testing instructions described on bullet 
#2 and confirm that now the tests succeed.
  6. The "Questing" version of the package was tested on a "Noble" image 
following described the instructions for "Noble".

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  * If a user installs this package on a different platform which doesn't has 
the proper TEE support enabled in the Kernel, the following message can be 
displayed when starting the tee-supplicant service: "failed to find an OP-TEE 
supplicant device".
  * If a user installs this package on a different platform which doesn't has 
the "tpm_ftpm_tee" module support, the system-d Drop-In will fail to install 
such Kernel module.
  * No additional problems should happen since this fix only ensures that the 
TEE-supplicant is running before installing the "tpm_ftpm_tee" module.
