Jumping the gun a bit, there :)
But yes, the TPM bits still look OK to me.

Ah, don't forget to update Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-ppi

I don't see this being called

Agree with Guenter, separate patch.

I liked the signature I suggested earlier:

sysfs_link_group_to_kobj(struct kobject *from_kobj,
			 const char *from_name,
                         struct kobject *target_kobj,
                         const char *target_name)

'link_group' may be too specific a name, I think this would work to
establish a link to any file in a sysfs directory? Which is good,
we'll need that for future TPM patches that relocate the other sysfs
files..
