IMA Reports No TPM Device

[Thangavel, Karthik]

Hi,

We are booting linux v6.1.30 on Xilinx ZynqMP SoC which is using ARM-A53.
We want to run IMA on TPM device connected over SPI interface.
During booting found that IMA reports "No TPM chip found".

Please find the below logs which shows IMA subsystem init 
called before TPM device.

In security/integrity/ima/ima_main.c 
late_initcall(init_ima);	/* Start IMA after the TPM is available */

As per above comment line IMA should start after TPM is available.
But we are observing the opposite behavior. 
Please let us know how to fix this issue.
