The issue doesn't happen with this patch but error condition with "Could not 
read PCR 0. TPM is not working correctly." is triggered immediately at boot, 
even before suspend is used.

$ dmesg|grep -iE "(tpm|suspend)"
[   12.640039] tpm_tis 00:0a: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x1020, rev-id 6)
[   12.640048] tpm_tis 00:0a: Intel iTPM workaround enabled
[   12.768057] tpm_tis 00:0a: Could not read PCR 0. TPM is not working 
correctly.
[   12.768066] tpm_tis 00:0a: Was machine previously suspended without TPM 
driver present?
