Len,

Is this an acceptable change to pnpacpi? It resolves an issue with
tpm_tis but I'm concerned that it might have far-reaching impact.

I've pasted in the problematic DSDT (manually fixing up whitespace to
make it more readable), and then a normal TPM simply has a _HID which
is matched by a pnp_device_id table in the driver
(drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis.c).

T400:
Device (TPM)
{
Method (_HID, 0, NotSerialized)
{
TPHY (0x00)
If (LEqual (TPMV, 0x01)) { Return (0x0201D824) }
If (LEqual (TPMV, 0x02)) { Return (0x0435CF4D) }
If (LEqual (TPMV, 0x03)) { Return (0x02016D08) }
If (LEqual (TPMV, 0x04)) { Return (0x01016D08) }
If (LOr (LEqual (TPMV, 0x05), LEqual (TPMV, 0x06))) {
Return (0x0010A35C)
}
If (LEqual (TPMV, 0x08)) { Return (0x00128D06) }
If (LEqual (TPMV, 0x09)) { Return ("INTC0102") }
Return (0x310CD041)
}

Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0C31"))

standard TPM:
Device (TPM)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("BCM0102"))
Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0C31"))

Thanks for any insight.
