Ok, thanks.

Agreed, but defaulting to the first bank would only happen if the IMA
default hash algorithm is not a configured TPM algorithm.

Using the same hash algorithm, preferably the IMA hash default
algorithm, for reading the TPM PCR bank and calculating the
boot_aggregate makes sense.

It sounds like you're suggesting finding a common configured hash
algorithm between the TPM and the kernel.Â
