There is no API change, in that sense.
The exported API is in tpm-interface.c int tpm_pcr_extend(struct tpm_chip *chip, int pcr_idx, const u8 *hash)
that is used is outside of the tpm reminds the same, only the open coded implementation of tpm2_pcr_extned has moved to
tpm2-cmd.c, This code is not called out of tpm module.
Please review the code again.
Thanks
Tomas
