0day says the kconfig has a problem when randomized, here is the fix I
will roll into a v2 in a few days:

          This driver provides kernel-side support for the Random Number
          Generator in the Trusted Platform Module
 
-         To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
-         module will be called tpm-rng.

          If unsure, say Y.
