Because it holds a non-zero value, which is wrong at this point. Below 
it is:

return rc ? rc : len;

It will always return that rc and never 'len'.

It's not just needed for bisecting. I still need it with your latest 
tree. That's the only change I need with my current testing of 
tpm_vtpm_proxy, TIS + TPM 1.2 , TIS + TPM 2.0 , and CRB + TPM 2.0 (with 
QEMU :-) ).
