[PATCH 3.2 011/221] TPM: Add new TPMs to the tail of the list to prevent inadvertent change of dev

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.69-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 398a1e71dc827b994b7f2f56c7c2186fea7f8d75 upstream.

Add newly registered TPMs to the tail of the list, not the beginning, so that
things that are specifying TPM_ANY_NUM don't find that the device they're
using has inadvertently changed.  Adding a second device would break IMA, for
instance.
