I'm new to this area of the kernel, but I'm not getting these lines:

> +	rc = tpm_transmit_cmd(chip, NULL, buf.data, PAGE_SIZE, 0, 0, NULL);
> +	tpm_buf_destroy(&buf);
>   	if (rc <  0)
Why is this if() check not directly after the tpm_transmit_cmd() call 
that sets rc?  Is it correct you want to destroy buf regardless of the 
tpm_transmit_cmd() outcome?

So buf has been destroyed, buf.data sill has something valid to assign 
to out?
> +	if (be16_to_cpu(out->tag) == TPM2_ST_NO_SESSIONS)
>   		chip->flags |= TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2;

Thanks,
Jay
