This fix seems to only be necessary when bisecting. You may want to 
apply it!

You also need to export the tpm_chip_start/stop symbols.


Master now seems to (still) have a problem when rmmod'ing:

A TPM error (325) occurred stopping the TPM. This happens at the same 
patch where I had to add the tpm_chip_start/stop above.
