1. It is just plain wrong if the basic extend function
   invents its own dummy hashes when it doesn't get one. In the end,
   this is what matters to me, and I'm not going to accept anything that
   tries to do that. That is something that caller should prepare.

   You even left undocumented this very awkward and unguessable
   behaviour. I think redundancy is better than doing guesswork what
   a function might possibly do other than its basic task, which is
   constructing the extend command.
2. The driver should return -EINVAL, if it doesn't get all the hashes.
3. The would be nothing wrong exposing struct tpm_chip in
   include/linux/tpm.h. I would be totally fine with that.
