I definitely do like the idea! Thanks for spotting this!

However one small remark

I know the fields are described in include/acpi/actbl3.h as
+struct acpi_tpm2_control {
+ u32 reserved;
+ u32 error;
+ u32 cancel;
+ u32 start;
+ u64 interrupt_control;
+ u32 command_size;
+ u64 command_address;
+ u32 response_size;
+ u64 response_address;
+};

but are the names there still correct? Isn't this information outdated?
The acpi spec refers to the MS spec which is not present anymore, and MS refers to the TCG -- and in the PTP your names are used.

---> We should update the ACPI header?
At least the naming for reserved and error.
What do you think?

Thanks,
Peter
