I'm in no rush merging this piece of code, as long as it gets merged
at some point. Thomas, can you take a look at the PTT issue we are
having.

See my discussion with Linus with subject "Getting weird TPM error after
rebasing my tree to security/next-general". You have better knowledge
of the internals so I would really like to hear your feedback on that.
We need to get a fix for that for v5.0.
