Checking the TPM version shouldn't be necessary.  The code currently
sets bank_idx to the HASH_ALGO_SHA256.  If instead of initializing
bank_idx to 0, initialize it to the nr_allocated_banks or -1.  As long
as the bank_idx value is the same as the initialized value, set the
bank_idx to HASH_ALGO_SHA1.

The subsequent bank_idx would then be limited to testing for the
initialized value.
