Can you share your build instructions and testing approach?

IIUC, here you are trying to resolve dependency with OP-TEE driver
using "-EPROBE_DEFER". So user shouldn't be prompted with error
messages until OP-TEE driver comes up.

BTW, for me this OP-TEE driver dependency seems not to work, boot is
simply stuck waiting for device. Probably the reason being this fTPM
driver is a platform driver and OP-TEE NOT a platform driver.

I just did a sanity check on my arm64 machine (Developerbox), just
adding following DT node and enabled CONFIG_TCG_FTPM_TEE=y:

+    tpm@0 {
+        compatible = "microsoft,ftpm";
+    };

Basically with no fTPM TA, I expected the driver to fail during
"tee_client_open_session()" call with TA not found error and boot
should continue. But it fails during "tee_client_open_context()" which
opens a context with OP-TEE driver and has nothing to do with fTPM TA.
