[PATCH v2 07/10] tpm-buf: Merge TPM_BUF_BOUNDARY_ERROR and TPM_BUF_OVERFLOW

From: Ross Philipson

Date: Sat Jul 11 2026 - 12:04:30 EST


From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Merge TPM_BUF_BOUNDARY_ERROR and TPM_BUF_OVERFLOW flags into
the TPM_BUF_INVALID flag, as their behavior is identical (the only
difference being the associated log messages).
